 +Welcome to the Carcass tutorial!
 +
 +This short guide assumes no prior knowledge of the tool, and will walk you through the process of connecting to a remote server and submitting your first query.
 +
 +**This tutorial is based on Carcass version 0.44**
 +
 +===== Connection to the server =====
 +
 +Immediately after starting the program a dialog window will appear, requesting the parameters for the connections to the server.
 +
 +You don't need to do anything here, just accept the default values by clicking on the "OK" button.

 +
 +===== Selecting a corpus =====
 +
 +After a few moments the main window of Carcass will appear, on the left you'll see a list of all available corpora, grouped by language.
 +
 +{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:basic:020_available_corpora.png |}}

 +
 +Click on "UkWaC 1" to select the UkWaC corpus (more information on this corpus are available on [[http://wacky.sslmit.unibo.it|this page]]).
 +
 +As soon as you select the corpus, the query editors will appear:
 +
 +{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:basic:040_query_editors.png |}}
 +
 +As you can see from the picture above, you can choose between a "Simple" query editor, a "Smart" query editor and an "Expert" query editor.
 +
 +For now let's just stick to the "Simple" editor.
 +
 +Type the following phrase in the box and click on "Submit":
 +
 +<code>
 +naked eye
 +</code>
