# Installation - REST Interface If the package is installed as part of a larger parent package e.g. The MATLAB *interface for Databricks* any further installation steps that may be required will be documented as part of the parent package's installation process. Otherwise if the package is to be used in a standalone capacity extract the package into an empty directory. Run the `Software\MATLAB\startup.m` function to begin using the package. See the [Authentication](Authentication.md) page for more details on how to configure MLFlow to work with your server. If used as part of a parent package see also the respective package's authentication documentation. [//]: # (Copyright 2021-2024 The MathWorks, Inc.)
