NOTICE: Below are my notes on Neo4j I have abandoned because I found the product to be too difficult to figure out for me, with not enough support nor documentation. The killer for me is not being able to get pass the password on initial use.
This tutorial is a hands-on introduction to install Neo4J, configure, create a database from commands,load data, etc. Rather than innudating you with facts and conceptual words to remember, commentary here is provided after you take some action, step-by-step. Like a guided walking tour. So you learn by doing. “PROTIP” flags unique or important information.
The contribution of this article is a maticulously sequenced presentation that curates a concise yet deep tidbits from the many resources about this topic.
Before reading this, read my notes on graph databases.
The great thing about Neo4j is that it can provide future flexibility with multi-platform data access without being locked in. This means if you want to use a different language (such as C#) next year, you can access the same database (using a plugin for that language). If your data volume scales massively, you can easily switch to a cloud-based Neo4j database. That’s not the case with Python data dictionaries. If data expands, you would need to either need to get a larger machine or rewrite to access databases.
There are several ways to use Neo4j:
Online Sandbox showcasing Bloom visualization and other use cases
- Install on a Mac using Homebrew:
- Install Desktop using Homebrew
- Install Neo4j server locally using Homebrew
- Neo4j’s own Aura cloud offering runs on GCP (Google Cloud Platform).
- Install Neo4j server in an EC2 instance
If you’re on Windows, read this.
Neo4j and its Cypher language
Neo4j is a product from Neo Technology, Inc. since 2007.
neo4j.comstarted as neo4j.org but now Neo4j installers include a Enterprise edition which requires buying a license (unless the application built on top of it is also open-sourced) to unlock limitations, allowing for LDAP role-based and subgraph access control, lock manager, clustering, hot backups of Causal Clustering using Raft protocol, and monitoring. See https://neo4j.com/startup-program/
Flagship customers include* Walmart, eBay, Cisco, Citibank, ING, UBS, HP, CenturyLink, Telenor, TomTom, Telia, Comcast, Scripps Interactive Networks, The National Geographic Society, Airbus, Orange, AT&T, Verizon, DHS, US Army, Pitney Bowes, Vanguard, Microsoft, IBM, Thomson Reuters, Amadeus Travel, Caterpillar, Volvo, and many more.
Neo4j open-sourced (at github.com/neo4j/neo4j) their “Cypher” OpenCypher query language in 2015. Among their docs is a “Refcard” of commands that are declarative (the database figures out how to do the fetching).
Developer Certification
Neo currently sends you a certificate for free if you answer 80% of 80-questions in their 60 minute on-line exam (by classmarker.com). It covers these 105 points by subject category:
- 44 - Cypher syntax, including creation and querying of data
- 11 - Developer - Developing with Neo4j
- 35 - Intro
- 15 - Modeling (The property graph model)
After going through materials below, sign up and take the exam at neo4j.com/graphacademy/neo4j-certification. At this time, you can take as many tries as you want, so use it to prompt your research.
What about the blue t-shirt?
Visual diagrams and ASCII art
Neo4j databases can be defined as both visual diagrams and by ASCII art.
[23:50] into VIDEO:
Each node can be labeled (such as entity type “Person”), have an identifier (id), and contain properties (attributes).
Its relationships from the movie “Matrix”. [13:26]
MATCH and RETURN are Cypher keywords that perform some action. Ironically, these are in all-caps but can be like “maTch” or “return” (are case-insensitive). However, others are case sensitive.
- path is a variable.
- :Movie is a node label.
:ACTED_IN is a relationship type.
Parentheses define nodes.
- Square brackets provide details such as an action verb.
”->” arrows define one-way relationships between nodes, with Patterns drawn by connecting nodes and relationships.
In VIDEO: What are Graph Databases and Why should I care?,Dave Bechberger (@bechbd of Expero Labs and VIDEO: A Skeptic’s Guide to Graph Databases) explains that with Neo4j, one can easilly “travese” a graph with arbitrary hops such as “similar” to identify a recommandation:
With Neo4j, one can “travese” a graph with arbitrary hops such as “similar”without the need to build foreign key joins or bridge tables.
PLUG: Moreover, as more relationships are added in Neo4j, performance is not degraded with joins.
Sample graph and code in legacy Console
http://console.neo4j.org is a legacy UI that displays a sample graph defined by this Cypher code:
Note the commas separating commands.
Query:
Note spaces separating commands.
Use cases in new Sandbox
In a Chrome browser, go to neo4jsandbox.com, which provides built-in guides and sample datasets for popular use cases for a limited time:
Bloom visualization
Select the Bloom “springy” UI for Visual Discovery (a good first one to view)
Neo4j’s Bloom visualization is a web GUI that allows “near natural language” filter text to control what is visualized from the database (docs)
VIDEO preview based on the Beers database.
Different “Perspectives” show different information depending on permissions level.
Parent/Child in Sample Recommendations
In VIDEO: Graph Databases Will Change Your Freakin’ Life Nov 28, 2016, Ed Finkler (CTO of Cloud SaaS vendor GraphStory.com) presents this sample graph:
The arrow in the relationship line points from the “CHILD_OF” in the direction of the parent.A property of this relationship (named “Created”) is when the relationship was established (in “2002”).
Prior Cyber Console Online
Prior to the Sandbox was http://console.neo4j.org, still available.

Docker Install
PROTIP: Alternately, rather than doing the above by hand, I recommend that you create and store in GitHub a shell script that does the above, then execute it a single command.
Create or navigate to an account folder, such as:
Clone the whole repo, which creates the repo’s folder,
Set permissions, then run neo4j-docker.sh cloned from GitHub:
Set permissions, then run it:
-aRefx nexus 2.7.4 mac. actually runs the docker run command.When you see this, you’re within the Docker container:
Optionally, you can exit the script here by typing exit.
Set permissions, then run Neo4j’s Cyhper shell:
Type in Neo4j Cypher commands as described below.
Optionally, you can exit here by typing :exit,the exit the Docker container with exit.
Alternately, there is a Docker image at https://hub.docker.com/_/neo4j
Install on Mac using Homebrew
PROTIP: Its better to install on you local laptop, which does not expire, as Sandbox instances do after 10 days.
PROTIP: If you’re installing on your laptop, I recommend use of Homebrew for its ease-of-use, even though its version can be behind the official website.
In a Terminal:
Pre-requsite Java
Install pre-requisite AdoptOpenJDK 8 with Homebrew Cask:

Restart server
Stop server
To get the PID for the Neo4j process, widen the Terminal screen, then:
Remember the PID on the line containing this CMD:
Stop it:
Edit Config for upgrade
Within a Terminal, edit the configuration file using “subl” or substituting “vi”, “nano”, or your preferred text editor (Visual Studio Code, which is invoked by the code command):
See a description of the dozens of keys at:https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/3.5/reference/configuration-settings
- Find text “dbms.allow_upgrade=” within the file.
Remove the # comment so your database upgrades automatically in case its built version is older than your current Neo4j version:
Set logging specifications: TODO:
Change the password:
Connect to Neo4j
Database access not available. Please use to establish connection. There’s a graph waiting for you.
- Type the default username and password of “neo4j” and “neo4j”.
Click “Connect”.
BLAH
Graph database can store any kind of data using these concepts:
- Nodes - graph data records
- Relationships - connect nodes
- Properties - named data values

### Query Logging
Query logging must be enabled by setting the parameter to:
To set all queries to be logged:
Alternately, set a threshold for the number of seconds before logging, such as 7:
There are additional logging parameters that are false by default:
Save the file and exit the editor.
Start Browser Console
When your Neo4j instance is ready:
Open the Neo4j Browser client:
PROTIP: So you can quickly switch among the two using Command+Tab, open a browser different than the one used to display this tutorial (perhaps Firefox instead of Chrome), thengo to the default URL:
From https://neo4j.com/developer/docker-run-neo4j/
Alternately, when running within Docker Machine, open the Neo4j Browser client using your default browser. On a Mac:
Ports (within Docker)
PROTIP: By default the Docker image for Neo4j exposes three ports for remote access:
- 7474 for HTTP
- 7473 for HTTPS
- 7687 for Bolt
Bolt Network Protocol
PROTIP: Although Neo4j as a transactional http/https versioned endpoint, the Neo4j database (since v3) by default communicates using the Bolt binary protocol (for multi-cluster routing) based on Packetstream. Much like JDBC for relational databases, Bolt operates over a TCP connection or WebSocket. Built-in Auth and TLS. It’s defined at Bolt network protocol. Connection credentials are stored in your web browser, such as:
To use the default bolt:
Confirm:
returns:
Currently, Neo4j only supports one Graph per Database.
Browser Commands
Commands can be entered in the Editor field at the top which begins with a dollar sign in gray.
Click the top command entry field to the right of the dollar sign, type the first letter of commands, a colon (:), for auto-completion list of most common commands:

Notice in the sample console image that the password is blank.
- In the Password field, type the default “neo4j” (lower case).
- Type your own password. Twice.
Note in the response your user name is “neo4j”.
After desktop install:
Database failed to create: Error: Could not change passwordhttps://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/issues/11429
Database creation commands
Neo4j comes with several databases.
Click “Write Code” and press Enter to invoke :play write code.
Movie sample creation
See instructions to build a relationship graph about among actors and directors:
The “Create” pane appears with code that begins with command “CREATE”.
Click the code for it to be posted in the command line.
Click the full screen icon.
BLAH: Drag and drop items to arrange the graph to your asthetic taste.
This is like ER (Entity-Relation) diagrams for SQL databases.
PROTIP: Neo4J data is stored the same way as illustrated by the data model, whereas with SQL data is stored in separate tables joined together.
The gray controls appear after you click on an object (the red colored dot labeled “The Polar Express”).
Click the “X” in the wheel to delete the node.
PLUG: Thus, Neo4j is naturally adaptive.Entities can be added dynamically, without schema migrations required in SQL databases.
Click the database icon at the top of the left menu to view a list of
- Node Labels
- Relationship Types
- Property Keys
Create an entry:
On Create, time stamp: [40:40]

Northwind sample creation
VIDEO:
PROTIP: Relations are not “first-class citizens” in a relational database.But they are in graph databases.
https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/developer-resources/tree/gh-pages/data/northwind
Open the “Northwind” sample database which Microsoft provides with its SQL database.
This is a more complex database with data common to business accounting.
</pre>
### Indexes
Indexes are used to find the starting point for queries to traverse (where by contrast SQL uses indexes to look up rows in tables)
PROTIP: Cypher keywords ENDS, WITH, and CONTAINS are, as of v3, index-backed. Neo4j uses “index read adjacency” to make itself quicker to traverse nodes instead of slower index lookups in SQL.
To improve performance, indexes in Neo4j can be backed by Lucene index type.
To schedule resampling of an index:
Load data
First, stop the service:
Stop Browser
Open a Terminal window to issue command:
The response:
Now you can backup and dump the database.
Switch to or open a Mac/Linux Terminal instance and:
Notice graph.db.
PROTIP: In the Neo4j world, a physical database consists of files stored under a folder named with a .db suffix. A “graph” references a physical Neo4j database that stores data.
Backup default database
See https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/3.2/tools/dump-load/for the various attributes to add.
Download sample DrWho database
With the server stopped:
Open a new browser tab to download a zip file containing a sample database from:
- Right-click to Save Link as… (download) the Jim Webber’s Doctor Who Data Set drwho.zip file to your Downloads folder.
- Unzip the file to create folder drwho.
Look into the folder index.
PROTIP: Neo4j uses Lucene to index, same as ElasticSearch and others.
Copy the drwho folder within the Neo4j database folder:
Check db consistency
See https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/3.2/tools/consistency-checker/
Use cases
Recommendations can be made. You like Tom Hanks? Here are his other movies.
More sophisticated versions of such a database are being used to detect fraud. See https://t.co/OMHaHOrYtq

Cypher Query
https://www.opencypher.org/#resources
A big innovation by Neo4j is that it provides programmers with a flexible network structure of nodes and relationships rather than static SQL tables.
Cypher is a language akin to SQL.
Cypher Style Guide (for M08), a 10-page pdfcovers Indentation and line breaks, Meta-characters, Casing, Patterns Spacing. The document presents this classical piece by Mark Needham:as a “sane query”:
PROTIP: Do not use a semicolon at the end of the statement.
execution plan with EXPLAIN and PROFILE.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TSBXZMv6tc
https://neo4j.com/download-thanks-desktop/docs/developer-manual/current/cypher/#how-do-i-profile-a-query
Neo4j is considered among other “NOSQL” database tech that include Key-Value Stores, Column-Family Stores, and Document Databases. But these others use aggregate data models whereas graph databases such as Neo4j work with simple records and complex interactions.
Instead of SQL union statements. an example of code is:
Direction
Neo4j API allow developers to completely ignore relationship direction when querying the graph.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH6WoJHN4UA&index=3&list=PL9Hl4pk2FsvWM9GWaguRhlCQ-pa-ERd4U
Fast?
For many applications, Neo4j offers orders of magnitude performance advantage compared to relational DBs. Each index and join adds to the time needed.

Importing data
Michael Hungar, Neo4j Developer Evangelist, wrote
Michael started the https://github.com/neo4j-contrib “Apoc” add-on library for Neo4j neo4j-apoc-procedures. It provides hundreds of procedures and functions adding a lot of useful functionality. It is available in all Neo4j Sandboxes and in the Neo4j Cloud.It can also be installed with a single click in Neo4j Desktop.It’s described with videos at neo4j.com/labs/apoc and in the Developer Guide which references https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/developer-resources.
We build something similar to apoc.load.json just for YAML. You can create a GH issue there and ask for guidance.

Language Extensions
To extend Cypher with user-defined procedures in JavaScript, C# .NET, Python, and Community drivers such as R, see https://neo4j.com/developer/language-guides
Python
- git clone https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-python-driver
- Graph Databases in Python from 2012
- https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-python-driver
Install Python driver:
The response (at time of writing):
Java coded queries
Neo4j provides Native server-side extensions in Java.
https://neo4j.com/blog/efficient-graph-algorithms-neo4j/
For large amounts of data, Cypher run time performance may be slower than Java API coding of traversals and writes. So do massive writes by writing a Java API program to read and query using parameterized Cypher queries.
Get the official drivers for Javascript, Java, .NET, and Python
https://neo4j.com/docs/developer-manual/current/drivers/#driver-get-the-driver
Additionally, the community has built a wide variety of other drivers in languages like PHP, Ruby, Go, Haskell and more.

Triplestore
Triplestore is based on the semantic web W3C RDF (Resource Definition Framework) for inter-connection
It is based on the subject - object - predicate tripleswhere each property is a vertex (node).
An example is airline flight information VIDEO:
Graph databases are used by inference engines to discover relationship insights not easily found using traditional approaches. Thus, it is popular among (crime) forensic scientists.
Aggregate functions
Aggregates in Cypher do not require a “GROUP BY” keyword as in SQL.
A node and relationship are essentially a container of properties.
See the one-page Cyhper Refcard.
@UserAggregationFunctions need to keep state (the aggregates).
