Mac: 3. Install Graphlytic
Deploy plugin into Neo4j
Graphlytic requires some advanced features which are not delivered with Neo4j but are deployed as a plugin for Neo4j delivered with Graphlytic installation package. To know more about the functionality of the plugin please see Architecture.
The Graphlytic Neo4j plugin has to be copied into Neo4j:
Stop Neo4j if it is running
Copy the file "neo4j-gl-plugin-<version>.jar" into the directory $NEO4J_HOME/Contents/Resources/app/plugins
Alternativelly use the "legacy-neo4j-gl-plugin-<version>.jar" when you want to use Neo4j version 3.3 or 3.4
You can copy the plugin also with Terminal, as you can see in example below.
Example:
$
cp
neo4j-gl-plugin-<version>.jar <NEO4J_HOME>
/plugins/
To see what is the functionlity of plugin see Architecture.
