Desktop app for using Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries

Sanskrit Dictionaries by MB

Latest version: 1.2.1

A Desktop version of Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries

Allows searching all 32 dictionaries simultaneously using either devanagari or IAST (the app detects the characters used and does all the transliterations automatically).

The database file is stored using git LFS.

Using the app

You can download latest version from our Telegram Channel. The pkg file is not signed, since this is a very niche non-commercial product. So in order to install it you need to:

1. Download the pkg file from Telegram.
2. Right-click the downloaded file and click Open.
3. Agree to install from untrusted source.

Development

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/licht1stein/sanskrit-desktop-dict.git

Download the database file:

$ git lfs pull

Run the project directly, via :exec-fn:

$ clojure -X:run-x
Hello, Clojure!

Run the project's tests (they'll fail until you edit them):

$ clojure -T:build test

Run the project's CI pipeline and build an uberjar:

$ clojure -T:build ci

This will produce an updated pom.xml file with synchronized dependencies inside the META-INF directory inside target/classes and the uberjar in target. You can update the version (and SCM tag) information in generated pom.xml by updating build.clj.

If you don't want the pom.xml file in your project, you can remove it. The ci task will still generate a minimal pom.xml as part of the uber task, unless you remove version from build.clj.

Run that uberjar:

$ java -jar target/sanskrit-desktop-dict-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

If you remove version from build.clj, the uberjar will become target/sanskrit-desktop-dict-standalone.jar.

Run the packaging tool to produce a Mac pkg file (requires the uberjar to be already in target/ directory):

$ clojure -T:build mac

Bump version:

$ clojure -T:build version :bump :patch
$ clojure -T:build version :bump :minor
$ clojure -T:build version :bump :major
