    The document provides steps to get started with data mining using the WEKA tool: 1) Open WEKA and select the Explorer tool for preprocessing, classification, and clustering tasks. 2) Import a CSV dataset and transform attributes from numeric to nominal values using a filter. 3) Split the dataset into 70% for training and 30% for testing using randomization and percentage filters. 4) Train classification models like OneR using cross-validation on the training set and evaluate on the test set. 5) Perform association rule learning using the Apriori algorithm to generate rules predicting class attributes.
