====== Setting up the INLET corpus system (formerly cqp@fu) ======

All software that is needed for working with our corpora is installed on the FU Linux server, you do not have to install or download anything. However, you have to set up your account for access to the software and the corpora. This page describes how to do this.

In order to run the setup, you have to be signed into your Linux account. If you lready know how to do this, sign in and follow the instructions below. If you don't know how to sign into your Linux account, follow the instructions on the page [[resources:fu-linux-server|The Linux server at the Freie Universität]].

===== Basic setup =====

If you have never worked with your ZEDAT Linux account before, or if you have worked with your Linux account but have not made any changes to your .bash_profile file, follow the instructions for Linux newbies (if you don't know what a .bash_profile is, you have never made changes to it). If you have made changes to your .bash_profile file, follow the instructions for Linux pros.

==== Linux newbies ====

Copy the following code to your command line and hit the ''RETURN'' key:

	sh /home/s/structeng/cqp.sh

This will run a a small program that will make all the right settings to your account to give you access to CQP and our corpora.

Then sign out of your ZEDAT account by typing ''exit'' and hitting return. Once you are signed out sign in again. You should now have access to the Corpus Workbench.

To test, whether you have access, type ''cqp'' on the command line and hit ''RETURN''. The prompt (i.e., the text at the beginning of the command line) should now change to look as follows:

	[no corpus]> 

If it does, everything works. If not, please repeat the instructions, making sure to sign out and sign back in. If it still does not work, contact your instructor for assistance.
==== Linux pros ====

If you have made changes to your .bash_profile, use the following code instead (this will leave your changes intact and just add the required settings):

	sh /home/s/structeng/scripts/firth.sh

Then sign out of your ZEDAT account and sign in again. You can now start the Corpus Workbench by typing ''cqp'' on the command line and hitting ''RETURN''.

===== Adding corpora =====

We have a growing collection of corpora that you can give yourself access to by signing in to your ZEDAT account, typing (or copying and pasting) the relevant command from the list below to your command line, hitting ''RETURN'', and signing out and in again.

  - To add various English language corpora, type ''add-fjord.sh''
  - To add some German corpora, type ''add-bucht.sh''
  - To add various corpora for other languages from the Leipzig Corpus Collection, type ''add-bahia.sh''

There are some corpora that we only make accessible to students who need them for specific projects. Ask your instructor for details.
