# Getting started with NeuroML
The best way to understand NeuroML is to work through NeuroML examples to see how they are constructed and what they can do.
-In this chapter, we will step through increasingly complex models to see how they are written and simulated using NeuroML.
+We present below a set of step-by-step guides to illustrate how models are written and simulated using NeuroML.
-To stress that **Python** is the suggested language for developing, simulating, and analysing NeuroML models, we will limit ourselves to the Python NeuroML tools only: {ref}`libNeuroML ` and {ref}`pyNeuroML `.
-You can learn more about the different NeuroML tools in their {ref}`specific sections `.
+
-You do not need to install any software on your computers to run the example code included in this chapter.
-Each example is followed by a [Jupyter notebook](https://jupyter.org/index.html) for you to experiment with.
-These can be run using the "launch" button in the top right hand corner.
-Please proceed to the first example section using the navigation button on the right below.
