Ubu: 4. Start Graphlytic

Graphlytic depends on Neo4j so if you want to start Neo4j and/or Graphlytic manually you have to start Neo4j first and Graphlytic next (after Neo4j is successfully started).

Start Neo4j

How to start Neo4j see Neo4j installation manual. It is strictly recommended to follow instructions at Neo4j manual. Here is short description how to start Neo4j but use this description with care.

Start Neo4j as a console application

Description how to start Neo4j on demand as a console application (not as a service).

Go into directory <NEO4J_HOME>/bin and execute start script.

$ sudo su neo4j
neo4j:$ cd /usr/share/neo4j/neo4j-community-3.0.0/bin
neo4j:$ nohup ./neo4j console &

Check in log file if Neo4j was started successfully:

$ less /usr/share/neo4j/neo4j-community-3.0.0/bin/nohup

If Neo4j was started successfully log file contains line similar to this one:

Remote interface ready and available at http://localhost:7474/

Change password for Neo4j at first start

There is need to change default password to neo4j for security reason. This step is required but only once. Change password if you started Neo4j for the first time.

Start Graphlytic

Go into Graphlytic home directory

$ sudo su graphlytic
graphlytic:$ cd /usr/share/graphlytic/bin
graphlytic:$ nohup ./graphlyticc &

Check in log file if Graphlytic was started successfully. There should be no error in log file:

$ less /var/log/graphlytic/graphlytic.log
