To get the most out of this book
KNIME Analytics Platform is a very easy-to-use tool. No previous coding knowledge is necessary.
Some previous math knowledge, however, is necessary to deal with the data transformations and understand the training algorithms.

KNIME Analytics Platform is open source and can be downloaded, installed, and used for free. Download it from https://www.knime.com/downloads.
KNIME Server is only needed in Chapter 11, Best Practices and Other Deployment Options, to run the trained network within a REST service or a web application. KNIME Server is not open source and cannot be used for free but requires a yearly license. For a test license, please fill in the contact form at https://www.knime.com/contact.
