Neo4j 3.0 community edition not run from terminal in mac osx

Question

I have installed the .dmg file according to the following instructions but when I try to run neo4j from terminal i got an error.

$ neo4j start
-bash: neo4j: command not found

What am I missing?

Answer 1

In theory, you can go to the terminal to the application folder of Neo4j app. For example:

$ cd /Applications/Neo4j\ Community\ Edition.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin

And from this folder start neo4j-shell, but get error:

$ ./neo4j-shell
./neo4j-shell: line 26: ./neo4j-shared.sh: No such file or directory

So, I think, is an issue for OSX package.

As an alternative, you can download server (not desktop) version (tar archive) from this page http://neo4j.com/download/other-releases/ and use neo4j-shell from this version - he is well connected with running a desktop version of neo4j.
