Tools for downloading, managing and testing Neo4j servers.
neoget- download and unarchive Neo4j server packagesneoctl- start and stop Neo4j servers and update default server passwordneorun- start and stop a Neo4j server with guarantee of server fully started and stopped
Neoget is a download script for fetching Neo4j server packages. To download the latest nightly 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
The -n option can be used to carry out a download for the latest nightly version of Neo4j.
python neoget.py -n 3.0
Then the archive with the version 3.0-NIGHTLY would be downloaded to local disk
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
For a full help page, use -h:
python neoget.py -h
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 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, -n, -l in a similar way as they are defined in neoget.py:
python neorun.py --start=neo4j -n 3.1 -p TOUFU
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
