helm-wordnut

This package is merely a combination of two packages already available:

• helm-wordnet
• wordnut

Both packages seem hardly maintained these days, so I took what I deemed useful and created one package that combines the searchability of helm-wordnet with the nice-looking output of wordnut.

Getting started

First, install WordNet following the instructions here. For example, on Ubuntu/Debian systems it is simply a matter of:

$ sudo apt-get install wordnet

helm-wordnut is not listed on ELPA nor MELPA. If you want to try it, you can use straight.el to install it:

(straight-use-package
  '(helm-wordnut :host github :repo "emacs-helm/helm-wordnut"))

Before using M-x helm-wordnut, ensure helm-wordnut-wordnet-location and helm-wordnut-prog are set according to your WordNet installation.

Acknowledgements

helm-wordnut would not have been possible without the work of others in the Emacs community. So it’s only fair to say “thank you!” to:

• Thierry Volpiatto, for Helm
• Raghav Kumar Gautam, for helm-wordnet
• Alexander Gromnitsky, for wordnut
