How to install neo4j-shell-tools with Neo4j Desktop


I'm trying to install neo4j-shell-tools on windows running the neo4j desktop. After unzipping and placing the folder in the LIB directory and restarting, it doesn't seem to load the tools?

Invalid input 'm': expected 'n/N' (line 1, column 2 (offset: 1))
"import-graphml"

Any suggestions?


Solution

  • neo4j-shell is deprecated, so I suggest you to not use it ! Instead, you should use the cypher-shell.

    Moreover, to achieve what you want to with neo4j-shell-tool with cypher-shell, you should use APOC : https://neo4j-contrib.github.io/neo4j-apoc-procedures

    APOC has all the features that has neo4j-shell-tool, and you can direclty install it in one click on the desktop edition.
