Neo4j 2.2.0 community trying to start shell

Question

When I run Neo4JShell.bat I get C:\Program Files (x86)\Neo4j Community\bin>Neo4jShell.bat The system cannot find the path specified. Error: Could not find or load main class org.neo4j.shell.StartClient

Java installed as C:\Program Files (x86)\Neo4j Community\bin>java -version java version "1.8.0_40" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b26) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b25, mixed mode)

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Run the Neo4j Community executable. In the dialog that appears, select "Options", then "Command Prompt". That sets up your environment. Then run the shell with "Neo4jShell".

Answer 2

Try the following it should work (let me know if it does not):

1. "Start" the Neo4j Community Server
2. On the same window which was used for step "1.", click on "Options" button.
3. A new Window opens. Click on the button "Command Prompt"
4. A command prompt window opens up, type "Neo4jShell" or "Neo4jShell.bat" (both works equally fine). This would take you to the Neo4j shell!!
