tacl is a tool for performing basic text analysis on the texts available from the Chinese Buddhist Electronic Text Association (CBETA). It is largely generic, however, and can operate with minor modifications on other corpora.
The code is developed at https://github.com/ajenhl/tacl/ and the documentation is available at http://tacl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
Using Python 3 (minimum version 3.5), either run pip install
tacl or download the code manually and run python setup.py
install. The dependencies are installed automatically when tacl is
installed with pip. Note however that on Windows (and perhaps Mac
OS X) it is very likely that the dependencies that have non-Python
components will not build due to a missing compiler. In such a case,
follow the instructions at

Run tacl -h for a listing of available subcommands, and tacl
<subcommand> -h for help on a specific subcommand.
