Visit the official Neo4j website (https://neo4j.com/download/). On the download page, select the appropriate version for the Windows operating system. Usually, you can choose between the community edition, which is free for non - commercial use, and the enterprise edition with more advanced features for commercial scenarios.
Once the download is complete, locate the downloaded installer file (usually with a .exe extension) and double - click it to start the installation process. Follow the on - screen instructions provided by the installer. You may need to accept the license agreement and choose the installation directory.
After the installation is finished, you can configure Neo4j. By default, Neo4j will start automatically after installation. You can also access the Neo4j browser by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:7474.
During the first launch, you will be prompted to set an initial password for the Neo4j database user. This password is crucial for secure access to the database.
To verify that Neo4j is installed correctly, you can run some simple Cypher queries in the Neo4j browser. For example, to create a node in the database, you can use the following Cypher query:
CREATE (n:Person {name: 'John Doe', age: 30})
RETURN n
This query creates a node with the label Person and properties name and age, and then returns the created node.
