-====== Carcass Basic Tutorial ======
-(by [[http://sslmit.unibo.it/~eros/|Eros Zanchetta]])
-Welcome to the Carcass Basic 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**
-==== Introduction ====
-Carcass is a corpus query tool. It is a [[wp>Client_(computing)|client]] application, which means it needs a working Internet connection to log into a [[wp>Server_(computing)|server]]. For now, the only corpora you can use with Carcass are those hosted on the server.
-If you're a glass half empty kind of person you'll think "Shoot, I **cannot** use my own corpora!". If, on the other hand, you're a glass half full kind of person, you'll probably say "Cool, I don't **need** to provide the corpora, there are lots of 'em already available and I don't have to do anything to set them up!"
-However you choose to look at it, at the moment it is not possible for regular users to add corpora to the system.
-==== Connection to the server ====
-Immediately after starting the program, a dialog window will appear, requesting the parameters for the connection 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?950 |}}
-Click on "English" to display all available English corpora.
-{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:basic:030_select_corpus.png?950 |}}
-\\
-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?950 |}}
-\\
-As you can see from the picture above, you can choose between **Simple**, **Smart** and **Expert** query editor.
-==== Submitting a query ====
-For now let's just stick to the **Simple** editor (the **Smart** and **Expert** editors are covered in the [[sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:advanced_1|advanced tutorial]]).
-Type the following phrase in the box and click on //Submit//:
-<file>
-naked eye
-</file>
-{{ :sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:basic:050_first_query.png?950 }}
-\\
-In the [[sarcophagus:carcass:tutorials:basic_2|next part]] of the tutorial you will see how to browse the results of your query.
