The Lemur Toolkit Beginner's Tutorial,
a step by step guide

This tutorial will walk you through how to do simple indexing and retrieval using the Lemur Toolkit. (The latest version being 2.1 when this was written). It will also touch on how to customize certain aspects of the indexing process. There might be several places where the lessons will branch off, depending on what your needs are. It's a good idea to take a moment now and consider what kind of data you have and what you'd like to do with it.

For now, the language of this tutorial is skewed a bit towards unix users. But everything can also be accomplished on windows.
