  1. Download and install Neo4j Community Edition (3.0 or above) - https://neo4j.com/download-center/#community
  2. Start Neo4j and select a folder in your computer for the Database Location, as shown below.


    Specify the location of the database when starting Neo4j

  3. Click on the Start button.

  4. Once the database is started, navigate to http://localhost:7474/browser/ in your browser. You’ll be prompted to enter the credentials. The default user name and password is both neo4j and you may be prompted to change it.
    Note: You can also set a new location for the database (as shown in the figure above) and then start the server. Then you can reset the password to neo4j123 when prompted.

  5. Once you enter the credentials, you’ll see the Neo4j browser, where you are ready to enter Cypher commands in a textbox that starts with the $ sign (as shown below).
