How to run Neo4J

For the options "Run BioKb-ChEBI as ..."

  1. From command line
  2. As RESTful API server

you need to run Neo4J separately.

If you have not already a Neo4j instance running, the easiest way is to run Neo4J as Podman/ Docker container.

For docker just replace podman with docker in the commands below.

podman run -d --rm --name biokb-neo4j -p7474:7474 -p7687:7687 -e NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/neo4j_password neo4j:latest
# Remove `--rm` if you want to keep the container after stopping it.

Neo4J is then available at: http://localhost:7474 (user/password: neo4j/neo4j_password

Stop Neo4J with:

podman stop biokb-neo4j

if you have not used --rm above, you can restart Neo4J with: ```bash podman start biokb-neo4j
