2. Make sure the following settings are properly set:

  • Neo4j Host should be localhost or the address where your Neo4j instance is running

  • Neo4j Port should be the port where your Neo4j instance is running (7687 by default)

  • Neo4j User should be set to your Neo4j user name (neo4j by default)

  • Neo4j Password should only be set if your Neo4j user is using password authentication

3. When running Neo4j Community Edition, set the Neo4j Single Project value. In community edition, the Neo4j DBMS is restricted to a single database. Since Datashare supports multiple projects, you must set the Neo4j Single Project with the name of the project which will use Neo4j plugin. Other projects won't be able to use the Neo4j plugin.

4. Restart Datashare to apply the changes. Check how for Mac, Windows or Linux.

5. Go to 'Projects' > your project's page > the Graph tab. You should see the Neo4j widget. After a little while, its status should be RUNNING:
