Download and install

Linguistica 5 is available through pip:

pip install linguistica

Linguistica 5 works with Python 3.12+.

The graphical user interface (GUI) requires PyQt5 and PyQtWebEngine (the latter powers the word-neighbor manifold visualization). Install them together with the gui extra:

pip install "linguistica[gui]"

These install as binary wheels on x86_64 Linux, Windows, and macOS (including Apple Silicon). On aarch64 Linux or Alpine/musl, where wheels are not published, pip may build from source instead.

To test the installation:

>>> import linguistica as lxa
>>> lxa.__version__  # show version number
