# Getting access

There are different ways to provide access to the functions and procedures included in the CARTO Analytics Toolbox for Redshift:

* [**Install the Analytics Toolbox in your Redshift database**:](https://docs.carto.com/data-and-analysis/analytics-toolbox-for-redshift/getting-access/manual-installation-in-your-database) This is the most standard and easy way to get access to the Analytics Toolbox.
* [**Installation on an Amazon Web Services VPC:**](https://docs.carto.com/data-and-analysis/analytics-toolbox-for-redshift/getting-access/installation-in-a-aws-vpc) This option is only suitable for Self Hosted deployments of the CARTO platform that need to access the Analytics Toolbox functions within a VPC.

{% hint style="info" %}
There is a reduced version of the Analytics Toolbox that contains only **core** functionality. This version is open source and can be installed and used freely.

Read [**this section**](https://docs.carto.com/data-and-analysis/analytics-toolbox-for-redshift/getting-access/installation-of-the-core-package) if you want to learn more about it.
