IMS Corpus Workbench beta version (pre-3.0)

Click on one of the links below to download the appropriate version for your system. See the file INSTALL.TXT for installation instructions. The current version of the IMS Corpus Workbench is 2.2.b79. "Unsupported" platforms (version 2.2.b17, which is seriously out of date!):
If you are running Linux and want to install the CWB programs in the usual location (/usr/local/bin/ etc.), you should consider the convenient RPM installation procedure. Download cwb-2.2.b79-1.i586.rpm, then log in as root and type
rpm -Uhv cwb-2.2.b79-1.i586.rpm
or use the RPM package installer provided with your Linux distribution.
Documentation: Unfortunately, the Corpus Administrator's Manual (PostScript) has not been updated for a long time. Please refer to the utitilties' built-in help pages (-h option) for more information, and note that some of the programs have been renamed. The most up-to-date documentation is the draft of a new CWB Corpus Encoding Tutorial and the CQP Query Language Tutorial. Both documents are available from the CWB Homepage. The example queries in the CQP Tutorial assume that you have installed the CWB demonstration corpora: Both corpora are available as compressed tar archives (.tar.gz). Unpack the archives and follow the instructions in the respective README files.
