Setting up Lorre

Since Lorre is implemented as a plug-in for Praat you have to install the Praat software first. The most recent version of Praat can be downloaded from www.praat.org. The most recent version of Lorre can be downloaded from phonetics.lucdh.nl/lorre and/or phonetics.pacilly.nl/lorre (see below on this page).

Download and unpack the files and move them to the proper directories:

 • On a Windows machine, an obvious place to store Praat.exe is: C:\Program Files\Praat\, but actualy it may reside anywhere in your file system.

 • On macOS, the most obvious place for the application folder Praat.app is either the /Applications directory in the root or in your home directory, but again it may be saved anywhere you prefer. Follow the instructions on the website regarding any security issues.

 • The directory Lorre can also be saved in any place you like, but you have to inform Praat about this location by running the script Setup.Plugin.praat one time.

For Windows there is a so-called installer available from the website, which does al of the above for you.
