Neo4j Driver Toolkit

Tools for downloading, managing and testing Neo4j servers.

  • neoget - download and unarchive Neo4j server packages
  • neoctl - start and stop Neo4j servers and update default server password
  • neorun - start and stop a Neo4j server with guarantee of server fully started and stopped

Neoget

Neoget is a download script for fetching Neo4j server packages. To download the latest released version of Neo4j, simply use:

python neoget.py

If successful, the downloaded package would be unarchived immediately following the download.

To install a specific Neo4j package version, use -v to specify the version:

python neoget.py -v 3.0.1

Alternatively, a url could also be used with option -l to directly download the Neo4j specified by the url

python neoget.py -l http://alpha.neohq.net/dist/neo4j-enterprise-3.0-NIGHTLY-unix.tar.gz

To install a nightly version, use -n to specify the nightly version togther with env var TEAMCITY_NEO4J_<version>[_WIN] (such as TEAMCITY_NEO4J_30NIGHTLY) to provide the secret teamcity download url for the nightly archives.

Teamcity requires basic access authentication, which could either be provided via environment variable TEAMCITY_USER and TEAMCITY_PASSWORD or via the url directly with username:password@ added in front of hostname.

TEAMCITY_USER=username TEAMCITY_PASSWORD=password TEAMCITY_NEO4J_30NIGHTLY=https://<teamcity_hostname>/repository/download/<build_type_id>/lastSuccessful/<artifact_path> python neoget.py -n 3.0

or

TEAMCITY_NEO4J_30NIGHTLY=https://username:password@<teamcity_hostname>/repository/download/<build_type_id>/lastSuccessful/<artifact_path> python neoget.py -n 3.0

witch is almost equivalent to

curl --user username:password -O https://<teamcity_hostname>/repository/download/<build_type_id>/lastSuccessful/<artifact_path>

For a full help page, use -h:

python neoget.py -h

Neoctl

Neoctl is a controller for start and stop Neo4j packages. It also provides a method to update default neo4j password.

To start a server, use the start command:

python neoctl.py --start=neo4j

Similarly, to stop a server, use the stop command:

python neoctl.py --stop=neo4j

To change the default passowrd of a Neo4j server, simply use

python neoctrl.py --update-passowrd=s3cr3tP4ssw0rd

Neorun

Neorun provides commands to start and stop a Neo4j server with the guarantee that the server is fully started and stopped when the script returns. The start command also exposes a command to download and install a specific Neo4j server if no Neo4j found locally, as well as an option to change the default server password after the start.

To start a Neo4j server, simply use the following command:

python neorun.py --start=neo4j

When the script returns, then the server is fully ready for any database tasks.

If no Neo4j server is found in path ./neo4j, then the default Neo4j server version used in neoget.py will be downloaded and installed to ./neo4j. To specify other versions to download when a Neo4j is absent, use -v, -t, -l in a similar way as they are defined in neoget.py:

python neorun.py --start=neo4j -v 3.0.2 -p s3cr3tP4ssw0rd

In the example above, the -p option is used to change the default Neo4j password after the server is ready.

For stopping the server, simply use the stop command:

python neorun.py --stop=neo4j
