Neo4j is a leading Graph database. In the first post of the series, we shall look at installation and running a Neo4j Server

Once installed, go to NEO4J_HOME/bin and execute the following command on a terminal
$./neo4j start

Login Screen
Once the server is up, open following URL http://localhost:7474/
You shall see the following login screen
The default password is neo4j. Once you enter the password, it would ask to change it. Once the password is changes, you see a screen like this
Congratulations, we now have a running Neo4j server.
