'neo4j-admin' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Question

I am trying to import neo4j 2.2 data into neo4j 3.1. The documentation tells me to run

neo4j-admin import --mode=database --database=<database-name> --from=<source-directory>

However, Windows does not recognize neo4j-admin as a command. I tried looking it up, and I thought I understood the executable was supposed to be in <installation folder>\bin but it's not there.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing and / or doing wrong?

(I am running Windows 7)

Answer 1

The command is indeed not there if you used the exe-installer. To get it (and the other tools - powershell commands for example) you have to use a zip installation. You can find that on https://neo4j.com/download/other-releases/.

Hope this helps !
