  4. When starting out, it's good practice to use sample datasets provided by the software before moving onto your own dataset so as not make mistakes on complex projects as you're learning how things work. This will give you an idea of how everything works and once comfortable, start applying these new skills on actual datasets from external sources or from your company/organization where applicable.
  5. Finally, if there are any problems or issues encountered during the setup process then don't hesitate reaching out in forums dedicated specifically for resolving common problems quickly (like StackOverflow) or contact support centers directly associated with providers of commercial products where appropriate - they'll be able to provide further advice on specific needs than generic questions posed in forums can often provide since they've gained more experience dealing with complex projects others may not have seen yet.
