Installation

1. Install MorphMan

Two ways:

• From AnkiWeb: in Anki, Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons…, then enter the code 73983788.
• From GitHub: download the latest .ankiaddon file from the releases. Double-click it, or use Tools > Add-ons > Install from file…

Restart Anki.

MorphMan works with Anki 2.1.50 and later.

2. Install the dictionary (MecabUnidic)

MorphMan cuts Japanese into words with MeCab and the UniDic 3.1.0 dictionary. UniDic is about 500 MB: too big for AnkiWeb. So it's an add-on of its own: MecabUnidic.

When you start Anki, MorphMan asks to download and install it for you. Click Yes.

A window shows the progress, with MorphMan in a few slides. You can keep using Anki. Closing the window doesn't stop the download.

When it's done, restart Anki.

If you said no

MorphMan asks again at each start, until you check Don't ask again.

You can also do it later: Tools > MorphMan > Settings > Parsing > Download and install.

By hand

If the download fails:

1. Download MecabUnidic3.1.0.ankiaddon from its GitHub page.
2. Double-click the file, or Tools > Add-ons > Install from file…
3. Restart Anki.

Settings > Parsing tells you if MecabUnidic is installed.

Coming from the old MorphMan?

Turn the old MorphMan off in Tools > Add-ons. The two can't run together.

Your databases (known words, priority.db, external.db…) are in your profile's dbs folder. The new version reads them as they are.

Tell MorphMan which cards to read: Analyze Cards.
