sudo apt-get install g++ git automake libtool zlib1g-dev libboost-all-
dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev libgoogle-perftools-dev

2. Clone Moses from the repository and cd into the directory for building Moses

cd giza-pp
make

4. Copy GIZA++ Binaries to MosesDecoder


cd modesdecoder
mkdir tools
cp ~/giza-pp/GIZA++-v2/GIZA++ ~/giza-pp/GIZA++-v2/snt2cooc.out ~/giza-
pp/mkcls-v2/mkcls tools
