A working example for neo4j

Question

I am seeking a quick and complete step by step guide that can:

• provide a data set
• show how to import the data set in the local web service (aka neo4j browser)
• do some queries to show the main features of neo4j

Notes: I tried some tutorials but were not complete or give some failing commands. Better if a social graph database, better if CSV, but any is ok

Thanks

Answer 1

Probably you should checkout GraphAcademy.

There are 2 interactive courses:

• For beginners - it will gently guide you into Neo4j world (with practical examples)
• Advanced - it contains more advanced topics (i.e. how to configure Neo4j for production envrionment).

Also there is tutorial in Neo4j itself. Start Neo4j locally and navigate to your browser (typicall to http://localhost:7474). If this is fresh start - you will be offered to go through introduction.

You can bring up tutorial manually by typing :play.

Just go with "Learn about Neo4j" option here.

Good luck, have fun!

Check out the Neo4j GraphGist project: http://graphgist.neo4j.com/#!/gists

There are many examples that showcase many different features of Neo4j (including data import).
