             Summary: GSoC: Implement cTAKES Installer
                 Key: CTAKES-192
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-192
             Project: cTAKES
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Pei Chen


Based on user feedback, I am proposing to have a simple installer for Apache cTAKES.
Currently, cTAKES uses Maven to compile and build a project.  However, there are many moving parts and there is a steep learning curve to getting started with using the full potential of cTAKES.
For example:
Users would need to download binaries from ASF.
Download resources from potential external locations (UIMA/UMLS).
Configure a working pipeline to get results.
Full installation instructions at:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+3.0+Developer+Install+Guide

It would be nice to have a simple installer that automatically resolves the dependencies, prompts users to optional downloads, and configure a working pipeline.  Something like MySQL's installer would be a really nice addition so more people could try and adopt the full power cTAKES and improve healthcare.
