Step 1: Open Command Prompt

To begin, you’ll need to open the Command Prompt on your Windows system. Here’s how:

1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
2. Type cmd or Command Prompt in the search bar.
3. Click on Command Prompt when it appears.

Step 2: Verify Sudachi Installation

Before checking the version, you need to verify that Sudachi is installed on your system. If Sudachi is installed, you can use the following command to check if it’s recognized by your system:

sudachi -v

If Sudachi is installed correctly, this command will return the version number. If not, you may need to install Sudachi or check your system’s path settings.

Step 3: Check the Sudachi Version

Once you confirm Sudachi is installed, use the following command to check the version:

sudachi -v

This command will display the version of Sudachi installed on your Windows system. The version number will be printed in the output, for example:

Sudachi version 0.5.1

This will tell you the exact version of Sudachi you are working with.

Step 4: Using Python to Check the Version (Optional)

If you’re using Sudachi through Python, you can also check the version from within your Python environment. Open a Python shell and type the following code:

import sudachipy

print(sudachipy.__version__)

This will print the installed version of Sudachi. If you’re working with Python, this method is often preferred because it integrates directly with your programming environment.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes, you may encounter issues when trying to check the Sudachi version. Here are some common problems and how to fix them:

1. Command Not Found: If the command sudachi -v doesn’t work, it’s likely that Sudachi isn’t installed correctly or the path isn’t set. Ensure that the installation path is added to your system’s PATH environment variable.
   
   

Old Version Installed: If the version displayed is outdated, you may want to update Sudachi. You can update it via the Python package manager pip using the following command:

1. pip install –upgrade sudachipy
2. Permission Issues: If you’re having trouble executing the command, ensure that you have the necessary permissions to run commands on your system. You may need to run the Command Prompt as an administrator.
   
   

Step 5: Using Package Manager (For Python Users)

If you installed Sudachi via a package manager like pip, you can check the version directly from the package manager:

pip show sudachipy

This command will display detailed information about the Sudachi package, including the version number.

Step 6: Verify the Sudachi Dictionary Version

Sometimes, checking the version of Sudachi’s dictionary can be important, especially if you’re working on projects that involve customized tokenization. You can do this by checking the dictionary files or looking into the documentation for the specific version you’re using.
