GATE training course 29 June - 2 July 2015
Software requirements
Each user will need a machine capable of running GATE comfortably, and the following software installed:
- GATE version 8.1
- A recent version of Eclipse
- Java 7 (minimum of 7u25, but the newer the better - 7u79 is the current release)
Beforehand
In order to make the most of the course, we will assume that you have a basic familiarity with GATE - that you have it installed, can start it, load documents and load and run applications.
If you are unsure about this, take a look at these:
