Requirements
EOP provides for different installation scenarios and this page describes the hardware and software requirements for EOP in each of these scenarios.
4GB of RAM are generally sufficient for most of the EOP configurations whereas 8GB could be necessary to exploit the full potential of EOP.
EOP contains several components for preprocessing data and for annotating textual entailment relations. Components for pre-processing for example allow for annotating data with useful information (e.g. lemma, part-of-speech) whereas textual entailment components allow for training new models and then using them to annotate entailment relations in new data. With EOP each of these facilities is accessible both via Application Program Interface (
) and Command Line Interface (
) and this involves additional software to be installed, i.e.

The software above can be obtained either from their web sites or, when Ubuntu is used, by Ubuntu Software Center that is a high-level graphical front end for the APT/dpkg package management system.
The platform has been tested on Ubuntu (12.04) LTS 64 bits. However, it might be possible to port it to other operating systems given that most of the code is written in Java.
