How to install Neo4j 3.2.6 Graph database

In continuation of my other blogs related with DevOps tools. In this blog I would like to share the installation of NEO4J 3.2.6 Graph database on Unbuntu machine.

Installation of Neo4j for ubuntu

Step1: Install JDK

We need to have JDK before installing Neo4j.

add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

=========== JDK installation ======>

vskumar@ubuntu:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

Oracle Java (JDK) Installer (automatically downloads and installs Oracle JDK7 / JDK8 / JDK9). There are no actual Java files in this PPA.

Important -> Why Oracle Java 7 And 6 Installers No Longer Work: http://www.webupd8.org/2017/06/why-oracle-java-7-and-6-installers-no.html

Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak is no longer supported by Canonical (and thus, Launchpad and this PPA). The PPA supports Ubuntu 17.10, 17.04, 16.04, 14.04 and 12.04.

More info (and Ubuntu installation instructions):

– for Oracle Java 7: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html

– for Oracle Java 8: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html

– Oracle Java 8: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/how-to-install-oracle-java-8-in-debian.html

Oracle Java 9 (for both Ubuntu and Debian): http://www.webupd8.org/2015/02/install-oracle-java-9-in-ubuntu-linux.html

Oracle JDK 9 is now considered stable. There are currently only 64bit builds (no other builds are available for download: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html )

Step2: Install JDK

Now, we need to install JDK9.

sudo apt install oracle-java9-installer

Once the JDK is installed, check the java version as below:

====== Check java verison =====>

vskumar@ubuntu:~$ wget -O – https://debian.neo4j.org/neotechnology.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add –

Step3: Install JDK

After
confirming Java version, Install neo4j as below:

$
java –version

=============================>

vskumar@ubuntu:~$

vskumar@ubuntu:~$

=============================>

Once
the JDK is confirmed as above steps.

Now,
let us start building the Neo4j setup as below steps:

Step2
for Neo4j Setup:

Use
the below pipe :

echo

=====================>

vskumar@ubuntu:~$
echo 'deb http://debian.neo4j.org/repo stable/' >/tmp/neo4j.list

vskumar@ubuntu:~$
cat /tmp/neo4j.list

deb

Step3
for Neo4j Setup:

Then
move the below directory and check its validation:

sudo
mv /tmp/neo4j.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Now,We can access the Neo4j browser with the
below Url:

Now,
we can use for our lab practice with Cypher Queries.
