This is a simple C interface to a local instance of the neo4j graph database.

###neo4j

To get neo4j, follow these instructions

Then, point your browser at localhost:7474 and start the Movie Graph tutorial

Once you've added some data, try compiling and running query.c

##query.c

All the magic is in query.c, which depends on curllib for HTTP requests and jansson for JSON parsing. The Makefile links to the correct libraries, but to make sure they're installed on your system:

1. Install curllib

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

2. Download and install Jansson

• download the latest tarball: http://www.digip.org/jansson/releases/jansson-2.6.tar.gz
• unpack the ball and cd into the directory:

bunzip2 -c jansson-2.5.tar.bz2 | tar xf
cd jansson-2.5

• Then install the package (you may need to be root for some of these steps):

./configure
make
make check
make install

3. Install Neo4j

4. Insert the data:

$ python parse.py
$ python insert.py

5. Run make in this directory.
6. Run the executable query and input a starting node name.
