Edit detail for OpeningCara revision 1 of 2

changed:
-
 Cara keeps track of all relevant data relating to one or several projects in a single file. The file contains a library defining generic objects used during an assignment project (e.g. !ResidueTypes, !SpectrumTypes, Scripts) as well as project-specific data (e.g. sequence, spectra, chemical shifts). The file is in XML format and therefore also human-readable and called a repository. Repository filenames always end in ".cara".

 **In order to use the many useful features of Cara, it is necessary to load a template containing at least a standard library of !ResidueTypes and !SpectrumTypes.**

 Download a template repository from the "download page":TemplatesPage.

 To Start Cara with the example template you can use one of 3 approaches (here we assume the executable is named <pre>cara.exe</pre> and located in the programs folder)

 **Method 1**

 Type: <pre>cara.exe Start1.2.cara</pre>
 
 **Method 2**

 Double-click the Icon for the template repository (e.g. Start1.2.cara)

 **Method 3**

 Start Cara either by typing <pre>cara.exe</pre> 

 or double-clicking the icon for the executable.

 Then use the menu bar *file-open* and select the template repository file "Start1.2.cara".
