How to install Neo4j-etl-cli tool

Question

I am using Neo4j 3.3.3 Desktop version.

I have tried the standard procedures to install the ETL tool given in:

https://neo4j-contrib.github.io/neo4j-etl/#neo4j-etl-cli

But couldn't install it.

I couldn't find the below json file path:

$DESKTOP/Application/graphApps.json

But I tried to copy the following lines in [ { "appId": "neo4j-etl-ui", "appName": "ETL App", "packageUrl": "https://neo.jfrog.io/neo/api/npm/npm/neo4j-etl-ui" } ]

\Neo4j Desktop\Application\graphApps\neo4j-browser\package.json

Also I did download and copy the jar file :

mysql-connector-java-5.1.45-bin.jar

to

\installation-3.3.3\lib

--After doing the following two steps when i opened my Neo4j Browser i didnt find any change.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I'm running Neo4j desktop 1.0.22 I was struggling to install the ETL UI tool, I tried @Yoshi 's path for the graphApps.json but didn't work.

After a bit of exploring I finally found the right path for this application's version. The path on windows is actually: %USER/.Neo4jDesktop/graphApps.json It should NOT be placed under %USER/AppData/Roaming/Neo4j/Application

At least for this version of the software

You dont have to add the driver into a specific file using the ui. You will select it after you started the etl tool. The path is \AppData\Roaming\Neo4j Desktop\Application add the graphApps.json here. After this you can go to a project and add the ETL App to your applications. There is a button to the right of your Neo4j Browser where you can select the ETL App.
