## README

= Neo4j: Graphs for Everyone =

http://neo4j.com[Neo4j] is the world's leading Graph Database. It is a high performance graph store with all the features expected of a mature and robust database, like a friendly query language and ACID transactions. The programmer works with a flexible network structure of nodes and relationships rather than static tables -- yet enjoys all the benefits of enterprise-quality database. For many applications, Neo4j offers orders of magnitude performance benefits compared to relational DBs.

Learn more on the http://neo4j.com[Neo4j website].

== Using Neo4j ==

Neo4j is available both as a standalone server, or an embeddable component. You can http://neo4j.com/download/[download] or http://console.neo4j.org[try online].

== Extending Neo4j ==

We encourage experimentation with Neo4j. You can build extensions to Neo4j, develop library or drivers atop the product, or make contributions directly to the product core. You'll need to sign a Contributor License Agreement in order for us to accept your patches.

For a quick overview of the components in this repository,
you can read the link:RepositoryOverview.asciidoc[RepositoryOverview.asciidoc].

NOTE: This GitHub repository contains mixed GPL and AGPL code. Our Community edition (in the link:community/[community/] directory) is GPLv3. Our Enterprise edition (link:enterprise/[enterprise/]) is differently licensed under the AGPLv3.

== Dependencies ==

Neo4j is built using http://maven.apache.org/[Apache Maven] version 3.0.x and a recent version of http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html[Java 7]. Bash and Make is also required. Note that maven needs more memory than the standard configuration, this can be achieved with `export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m"`.

OSX users need to have http://brew.sh/[Homebrew] installed.

=== With brew on OSX ===

  brew install graphviz libtool maven

=== With apt-get on Ubuntu ===

  sudo apt-get install graphviz maven make openjdk-7-jdk devscripts debhelper rpm

== Building Neo4j ==

* A plain `mvn clean install` will only build the individual jar files. 
* Test execution is, of course, part of the build.
* To add execution of integration tests, use: `mvn clean install -DrunITs`.
* In case you just want the jars, without running tests, this is for you: `mvn clean install -DskipTests`.
* To skip building the browser module, use `-DskipBrowser` (note that you might not be able to build the server without it).
* To build everything, including running all tests, producing documentation and assembling product packages, use `mvn clean install -DfullBuild`.
* To build the documentation see the link:manual/[Neo4j manual].
* When building on Windows, use `-Dlicensing.skip` to avoid problems related to line endings.
* The license header check can be skipped by appending the following to the command line: `-Dlicense.skip=true`.
* If you are running into problems building on Windows you can try building Neo4j in a Ubuntu virtual machine.
* You may need to increase the memory available to Maven: `export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"`.

== Running Neo4j ==

After running a `mvn clean install -DfullBuild` cd into `packaging/standalone/target` and extract the version you want, then

  bin/neo4j start

in the extracted folder to start Neo4j on `localhost:7474`. On Windows you want to run

  bin\Neo4j.bat

instead.

Or, if you are not interested in the tarballs and just want to run Neo4j you can instead run a `mvn clean install -DminimalBuild` and then cd into `community/server` and run

  mvn clean compile exec:java

to start Neo4j.
