Mallet SimpleTagger FileNotFoundException: c:\mallet-2.0.7 (Access is denied)

Question

I tried running Mallet from windows cmd following exactly the examples in the documentation and also from the solution in this post I keep getting this error, what could be the problem?

c:\>java -cp "C:\mallet-2.0.7\class;C:\mallet-2.0.7\lib\mallet-deps.jar" cc.mallet.fst.SimpleTagger --model-file c:\mallet-2.0.7 c:\mallet-2.0.7\sample.txt
Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: c:\mallet-2.0.7 (Access is denied)

Answer 1

I used this command instead and it works. It created a crf model file "nouncrf"

c:>java -cp "C:\mallet-2.0.7\class;C:\mallet-2.0.7\lib\mallet-deps.jar" cc.mallet.fst.SimpleTagger --model-file nouncrf sample.txt
