Learn how to install libstemmer0d on Debian 10 with this tutorial. libstemmer0d is Snowball stemming algorithms for use in Information Retrieval

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libstemmer0d on Debian 10.

What is libstemmer0d

libstemmer0d is:

Snowball provides access to efficient algorithms for calculating a “stemmed” form of a word. This is a form with most of the common morphological endings removed; hopefully representing a common linguistic base form. This is most useful in building search engines and information retrieval software; for example, a search with stemming enabled should be able to find a document containing “cycling” given the query “cycles”.

Snowball provides algorithms for several (mainly European) languages. It also provides access to the classic Porter stemming algorithm for English: although this has been superseded by an improved algorithm, the original algorithm may be of interest to information retrieval researchers wishing to reproduce results of earlier experiments.
