# Setting up Neptune ML
<a name="machine-learning-setup"></a>

The easiest way to get started with Neptune ML is to [use the CloudFormation quick-start template](machine-learning-quick-start.md). This template installs all necessary components, including a new Neptune DB cluster, all the necessary IAM roles, and a new Neptune graph-notebook to make working with Neptune ML easier.

You can also install Neptune ML manually, as explained in [Setting up Neptune ML without using the quick-start CloudFormation template](machine-learning-manual-setup.md).
