# Part II: Getting started

To get started with MiGA, first make sure you have all the [system requirements](/part2/requirements.md). Next, [install and configure MiGA](/part2/installation.md) in order to use it for processing. You can also skip the configuration if you simply want to access projects previously processed.

Finally, you may want to get familiar with the [MiGA types](/part2/types.md), the [input data for MiGA](/part2/input.md), and the methods for [distances](/part2/distances.md) and [clustering](/part2/clustering.md).
