Artha is the off-lilne English Dictionary for users. It is an Open Source cross-platform English thesaurus that works completely off-line and is based on WordNet(A superb database).
If you are using Debian or its derivatives like Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. then Artha is already available in the repositories. You can install it by:
Both Debian and Ubuntu has the version 1.0.2 of Artha in their respective repositories; so by installing using the above command, you’ll not get the latest 1.0.3 release. Hence if you prefer to have the latest version, there are two options available ~ PPA and direct .deb download.
1. PPA
Artha now has a PPA in launchpad. This can be added to your system’s repository sources through
This will prompt you to accept adding the PPA’s keys to your system. Accept it by pressing RETURN. Once this is done, update the package data and install Artha.
sudo apt-get install artha
DEB
Alternatively, you can also download the deb file below for your architecture and install the same (instructions below). This is more of a manual method and the PPA method is encouraged over this one, since this method lacks automatic updation of the package, should there be a newer version of Artha.
Architecture Binary
i386 artha_1.0.3-1_i386.deb
AMD64 artha_1.0.3-1_amd64.deb
