Hi all!
I am on Arch Linux x86_64 with both latest Java (jre-openjdk 14.0.1.u7-1), Java8 (jre8-openjdk 8.u252-1, do I need also JDK 8 or JRE 8 is enough?) and LanguageTool 4.9.1.
Some time ago I installed ngrams (from AUR), I set the desktop application to use it but after some time I uninstalled the ngrams. Until here everything continued working fine.
Then I enabled the “Run as server” serverMode and every time I try to open languagetool desktop application I get a Java exception instead:
$ languagetool
Not loading ngram data, directory does not exist: /usr/share/ngrams/en
java.lang.RuntimeException: LanguageModel directory not found or is not a directory: /usr/share/ngrams

In order to reproduce, set the ngrams directory and enable the serverMode, then rename the ngrams directory so that languagetool cannot access it.
Otherwise, simply use the following ~/.languagetool.cfg:
ngramDir=/non/existent/dir
serverMode=true
