Requirements

Graphlytic is a web application which is installed at 'server' computer. User can interact with Graphlytic through web browser from any computer ('client' computer). 'Server' and 'client' computer should be the same computer but for production we recommend to use separate computer for 'server'. Graphlytic uses Neo4j database as base data storage.

1. Software requirements

  • Server

    • Operating system

    • Java

    • Neo4j database

  • Client

    • Browser

1.1. Server

1.1.1. Operating system

Graphlytic runs at any computer with Windows or Linux installed where Oracle Java 1.8 or greater can be installed. See list of certified system configuration.

1.1.2. Java

Graphlytic requires an Oracle Java Developers Kit (JDK) platform to be installed on your server's operating system. Required version is 1.8 or greater.

1.1.3. Neo4j database

Graphlytic uses Neo4j database as base data storage. You can use existing Neo4j database or install a new one. If you use exiting database be careful that Graphlytic stores some custom data into Neo4j database. Existing data stays unchanged because Graphlytic don't execute any change to existing data if it is not required by user. For better safety and data separation we recommend to use separate Neo4j database to work with Graphlytic. Required version is 2.2.0 or greater. We recommend to use last version of Neo4j.

1.2. Client

1.2.1. Browser

User can interact with Graphlytic through any web browser. If you have disabled JavaScript in your browser or are using a script blocking tool like NoScript, you must enable your browser to execute JavaScript from to access full functionality.
