Packages

The Neo4j Debian packages are still experimental, and we would love to get feedback on them. We publish 2 repositories right now:

  • stable 1.8 binaries
  • testing 1.9 milestone builds

To use the new packages, you need to run the commands below (copy and paste is your friend here): 

wget -O - http://debian.neo4j.org/neotechnology.gpg.key| apt-key add - # Import our signing key
echo 'deb http://debian.neo4j.org/repo stable/' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neo4j.list # Create an Apt sources.list file
aptitude update -y # Find out about the files in our repository
aptitude install neo4j -y # Install Neo4j, community edition

You could replace stable with testing or advanced if you wanted a newer (but unsupported) build of Neo4j. If you wanted to get a different edition, you can run:

  • apt-get install neo4j-advanced
  • apt-get install neo4j-enterprise

When install up neo4j-enterprise you will also get neo4j-coordinator.

If you have any questions, please ask on the mailing list at groups.google.com/group/neo4j/.
