        <p>
            Apache NLPCraft requires <b>no special installation</b> operations:
        </p>
        <ul>
            <li>If you <a href="/download.html">downloaded</a> binary ZIP archive -
                <a target="asf" href="https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi#verify">verify</a> it and unzip it.
            </li>
            <li>If you <a href="/download.html">cloned</a> GitHub repository or downloaded source archive compile
                it via <code>SBT</code> command:
                <pre class="brush: scala, highlight: []">
                    $ sbt clean compile
                </pre>
            </li>
            <li>Also you can use <code>maven</code> command and get same result:
                <pre class="brush: scala, highlight: []">
                    $ mvn -B clean package -P stanford-core,examples
                </pre>
            </li>
        </ul>
        <p>
            You are done 👍

                Starting with version <b>1.0.0</b> NLPCraft requires JDK 11+ and Scala 3.1.3.<br/>

        <p>
            You can create new Scala projects in many ways - we recommend SBT
            to accomplish this task. Make sure that <code>build.sbt</code> file has the following content:
        </p>
        <pre class="brush: js, highlight: [7]">
            ThisBuild / version := "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
            ThisBuild / scalaVersion := "3.1.3"
            lazy val root = (project in file("."))
              .settings(
                name := "Your project",
                version := "{{site.latest_version}}",
                libraryDependencies += "org.apache.nlpcraft" % "nlpcraft" % "{{site.latest_version}}",
                libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "3.2.14" % "test"
              )
        </pre>

        <p>
            <b>NOTE: </b>make sure to use the latest versions of Scala and ScalaTest.
