Additionalinformation--after a little experimentation it looks like Bloom opens just fine for the 4.x database but not for the V5.x in the Desktop. Is there a compatibility issue with Bloom and V5.x?

I am also facing the same problem on the latest versions of Neo4j Desktop (Enterprise Version 5) and Bloom respectively. I particularly notice connectivity issues when switching between multiple databases in the same DBMS.


We still have this problem on Neo4j desktop 1.5.9, Neo4j 5.17.0, Bloom 2.11.0.

We would sincerely appreciate any information regarding an estimated timeframe for a resolution. This will help us determine whether it is necessary to consider alternatives to Bloom.


Hi,

I am a newbie with neo4j and wish to install neo4j desktop on my Windows 11. When I navigated to and click on the DOWNLOAD button, it navigates me to this page that looks like this:

image1064894 52.8 KB

Now, when I fill up this form and click on 'Download desktop', it navigates back to , and the same thing repeats.

Please let me know the right procedure here, if I am looking at the wrong place.


For some reason, the older :param syntax is no longer documented, even though it is still supported in neo4j 4.1 (by the cypher-shell tool and the neo4j browser). That older syntax supports the creation of parameters with map values in a very straightforward way.


Good day,What are you intent to do with that param? In general, params should be a valid JSON, so the easiest way to fix above sample is to embrace keys with double quotes and ebrace the object by single quotes: :param someObject => ' "data": "something", "moreData": "something else" '


cybersam's answer works but needs but doesn't fully explain what's going on and is based on the older syntax. The right hand of => is evaluated as Cypher and an implicit RETURNis placed in front. Therefore:


When explicitly setting a param the express on the right has to be wrapped in with RETURN explicitly placed in front of the expression inside. This was the issue with the query in the question. Nothing is returned inside of so an error gets thrown.


Additionally the results have to be destructured in this format [x, y, z] and I haven't confirmed this but I suspect its because the syntax to set params can return mutliple results as with any regular query.


I recently used Neo4j Desktop version 1.2.5 with Window 10. It worked well with some data analytics. But, now, the Neo4j desktop application can't open so that I can't do anything. I see the Neo4j desktop.exe (Admin) is running in the background process in my task manager. However, I can't see the Neo4j desktop screen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! I need it seriously for work.


I found the same issue with new version. It can't open yet. Any solution? Thanks! I need it for my school assignments. Please help me...My old databases are located in " E:// Neo4jdatabases". They are not the same location now. How can I resolve them to use those existing databases with new one?


a long time ago i had a similar trouble , could you try to see on error log ? in my case the start up process was looking for a .json file , ive been resolved looking the file in the backup folder and "copy & paste" at the new path and ready !!


Do I need to find this error log file, default-source.json file in my databases that I populated with Neo4j before? I'm looking up this json file . @ponceortiz @gregory_king @emma.nash. I will report it back here. Thanks for your kindly suggestions and possible solutions as I need it urgent.


try asking them to delete the C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Neo4j\Relate\Cache\plugin-sources\default-sources.json file and see if that helps? We think that the reason for desktop not starting for some users might be that the cached plugin sources has become corrupt


I unfortunately don't think the plugin sources file is the issue here anymore. But it would be really helpful to get the log file from either your new or old installation. It should be located in the root of the folder you chose as the storage location when you first started the app and it should be named log.log.


Neo4j Desktop works. I can view the Movie graph and I created a graph for my project.

Neoj Browser works and I can view both graphs in the browser.

I developed C# code that reads my project graph and executes cypher.

In short, everything works as expected and I'm thrilled.


Maybe my approach is incorrect. I assumed Neo4j Desktop was similar to say, Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS) which executes independently from the Sql Server database service. In other words, SSMS doesn't need to be executing to connect and access the Sql Service instance and databases.


You can run Neo4j as a stand alone database as well as with desktop. You'll just have to navigate to it and start the service through the terminal or on start up as service. I'm sure you've already looked but you might go through the docs here The Neo4j Operations Manual v5 - Operations Manual and see if they help.


Think of Neo4j Desktop as a wrapper that lets you setup a whole bunch of databases and servers of different versions depending on your development needs. Neo4j Desktop is only going to run one database server at a time.

It isn't like MS SSMS which can manage local and/or remote database servers.

Yes you will need to change the ports in either Setting (Desktop) or neo4j.conf (Server) so they don't conflict.

Desktop can connect to that other database on your local machine there, but create it as a Remote Database.

Similarly you can use Chrome to connect to either just use the correct host:port user/pass.


By "built-in terminal tab", do you mean something from the desktop tool (which I don't see), or a command-window open to the "bin" directory, from an installation via the .Zip distribution (since the .exe doesn't seem to come with neo4j-admin, that I can see).


This is a great UX problem for the neo4j devs to improve on: sure, one can run neo4j-admin.bat by opening the terminal but there is no intuitive section in the neo4j online manual to explain the procedure (start the DB, open terminal, run bin/neo4j-admin.bat backup --backup-dir=c:\somewhere)


Also, the terminal is glitching out a lot on my Win10 install - e.g. scrolling the window after resizing it is problematic, also text sometimes disappear and when opening the terminal there is just a blank screen with a cursor and no indication that it's a ready terminal for use (no prompt visible).


I recently download Neo4j Desktop version 1.5.7 with Windows 10, the Neo4j desktop application was opened but I can't start a database project so I can't do anything. It sent that I need to see logs. I really appreciate any help you can provide. I need it seriously for work.




Using the latest version of neo4j desktop. It has a valid key and an expired key. When I launch it, I always get an expired key dialog box that I have to dismiss. How can I delete the expired key or otherwise get the nag message to stop? thanks.


I failed to dump my database in neo4j desktop 4.3.5 on Windows 10 Pro (64). I googled this problem but haven't found my case. I would like to see log files but currently have no idea what should I look at in the log files.

I would appreciate if anyone can give me a hint on that.


Hi,

Just installed Neo4J desktop 4.1.0. When I go to install the Apoc plugin there is no option to install it.

I am not sure if it is related but our overzealous networks manager has blocked GitHub as a 'security risk'!

I downloaded the Apoc jar on another machine and copied it across. Neo4j is installed on D:\Neo4jDesktop on my machine so I created a plugins folder one level down (which I thought was the right location) and put the jar in there but still no joy!

Cheers

Mat


Look for a folder that looks something like this inside, it's probably not Neo4jDesktop where the actual database instance lives. Try a search on your machine for 'neo4j.cer' and see if that doesn't give you a different location. I have an Enterprise version installed, but the inside of your directory will look similar.


When you create a database, in the database window you will see three small circles at right top corner. Click on it and select Manage. On the next screen select the plugin tab and APOC and GDS. Click on install one after the other.


If you install it manually by copying the jar into the plugins folder it won't show it as being installed on the plugins tab, but if you open the Neo4j Browser and run CALL apoc.help() or return apoc.version() if you get back some results, it has worked!


Search the documentation and it's old and does have any manage button or anything to direct th user to a similar method in the new interface. It's actuallly frustrating as hell to have to manually add what used to be simple.


I'm using the "Graph Data Science Playground" app within neo4j desktop (using version 5.6.0) and have a database that I can explore using the browser and as you can see below has nodes and edges. Yet, when I try to connect to the same database using the "Graph Data Science Playground" app, it throws an error saying


There's another suggestion there, i.e. setting the database I want to work on as the default, but I don't know how to do that with the neo4j desktop version (is it changing a variable like default_database in the neo4j.conf file?). I'd appreciate it if you could tell me how to do that so that I can give it a try.


The Neo4j Desktop app is designed to help new users learn the ins and outs of the Neo4j database. This app can create and connect to a local database for experimental purposes or to a remote server for the management of production databases.


Click Next, and when prompted (Figure D), type the username and password for the Neo4j database. The default username is neo4j, and the password is what you used when you first tested the Neo4j connection while installing Neo4j.


For example, if you type CREATE (, the Neo4j Desktop app will auto-complete the ) to ensure your queries are created correctly. You can also save a query as a favorite, so if you have long queries that you find yourself typing over and over, just click the star in the history (Figure G), and the query will be available to you at any time.
