Running GloVe on Windows

Is it possible to install GloVe on Windows 10?

From https://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/glove/ :

Compile the source: cd GloVe-1.2 && make

But how can I run "make" in Windows?

Solution

  • I guess, there are two possible workarounds for you. You could install something like MinGW and build official implementation of Glove on your Windows system. Or you could try installing Glove as a Python package (like this one or like this one) through pip or conda or something, and work with Glove through Python. But, as the authors of these packages say, they could contain a tremendous amount of bugs. So trying to build the official Glove should be the best solution.

    But, actually, if you do not need to train the model, installing Glove is not necessary, and you can just download pre-trained models from here, for example.
