2 Getting Started

Before you can run MM, you must download and install Mozart

2.1 Getting Started

We assume in this brief introduction, that it is the first time you run the client.

Click on link to start a client!

The first window you will get looks like this:

Fill in Login and password. If it is the first time you connect, select a login and a password you would like. Use TAB to traverse between the fields. Press RETURN when done.

Since this is the first time you connect, you do not have an account. Press the button "Create Account" to continue.

Fill in all the fields, press RETURN when done.

This is your client, click on the "M"-logotype and you will get the following popup.

Press "Add Friends" to add people to your contact list.

Fill in the information you know about the person you are looking for. The search is case insensitive and we do not use exact word match. Our search algorithm is based on sub-strings. For example: The authors organization is "Swedish Institute of Computer Science", if you type "sics" the match will be done on the following letters: "swedish institute of computer science". There is an AND-relation between the search-fields.

Select the people you want to add to your contact list. Use CTR or SHIFT as modifier.

Press "Add Selected Friends" when done.

Now your client looks something like this:

Use <Button-3> to bring up a popup menu for each entry in your contact list.
