Installing Neo4j 5 on Mac: A Step-by-Step Guide

As a developer, you're likely no stranger to the world of graph databases. If you're looking to install the latest version of Neo4j on your Mac, this article will guide you through the process.

Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at what makes Neo4j so special. An eventual consistency database is one that guarantees that all cluster members will store the latest version of data at some point in time. This is achieved through Bolt, a protocol used for interaction between Neo4j instances and drivers. Additionally, Neo4j follows the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) properties to ensure reliable database transactions.

For those new to Cypher, it's worth noting that it's Neo4j's graph query language that lets you retrieve data from the database. However, sometimes you may need to use Awesome Procedures On Cypher (APOC), a library of functions that can't be easily expressed in Cypher itself.

Once installed, you'll have access to Aura, Neo4j's fully managed cloud service. But if you're looking for a more permanent solution, don't worry - Neo4j 4.4 is an LTS (Long Term Support) release, and Neo4j 5 will also have an LTS version. This means that your database will be supported for a number of years.

To get started with installing Neo4j 5 on your Mac, follow these steps:

Step 1: Download the Neo4j installer

Head to the official Neo4j website and download the latest version of Neo4j 5 for Mac.

Step 2: Install Neo4j

Open the installer package and follow the prompts to install Neo4j. Make sure to choose a secure password for your database administrator account.

Step 3: Start Neo4j

Once installed, start Neo4j by running the `neo4j` command in your terminal.

Step 4: Connect to Neo4j

Use the following code snippet to connect to your Neo4j instance:

```

with GraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH) as driver:

# Your Cypher query goes here

```

In this example, `URI` is the URL of your Neo4j instance and `auth` is your authentication details.

Step 5: Use Cypher

Now that you're connected to your Neo4j instance, you can start using Cypher to retrieve data from your database. For more complex queries, consider using APOC functions or Aura's fully managed cloud service.

That's it! With these simple steps, you should be able to install and get started with Neo4j 5 on your Mac.
