Great to hear! So, if we try to take java out of the equation as much as possible you'd have to do something like this:
1) Go to the Neo4j wiki: http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Java_Setup_HowTo#Building_from_source and follow that guide about how to get Maven installed and properly setup. 2) Checkout the REST component from subversion: svn co https://svn.neo4j.org/laboratory/components/rest neo4j-rest 3) Start a neo4j graph database instance with the REST API on top of it with the "start" script in the neo4j-rest/ folder (make sure that you're using Java 6 or later for the REST component): cd neo4j-rest/ ./start (or on Windows: start.bat) ...you will now witness maven download a bunch of dependencies, but that's completely normal and will only happen this first time. Maven will also build the REST code for you. After a while you'll see: Running server at [http://localhost:9999/] Press ENTER key to kill the server And then you know you're up and running. 2010/2/18 Paolo Stancato <[email protected]>: > Hi there! > > I'm very excited about neo4j and yesterday I've read a post[1] in > which mention a REST API that is in the lab.
