Extension and Plugins

Neo4j Plugins (Optional, you can skip this)

Getting started with Blueprint41 we can install optional plugins for Neo4j.

• APOC (Awesome Procedures On Cypher) - To use older Neo4j versions, Blueprint41 needs APOC. See APOC: An Introduction to User-Defined Procedures and APOC.

• Blueprint41 Plugin - contains Blueprint41 neo4j procedures (e.g auto-increment features of the Functional ID)

Installation

• Download Blueprint41 plugin for Neo4j v5, Neo4j v4 or Neo4j v3.
• Download APOC plugin for Neo4j v5 or look at the older versions.

1. After you've downloaded the plugins, stop the neo4j service.
2. Put the plugins (jar-file) into your <neo4j-home>\plugins folder (e.g C:\neo4j\plugins).
3. Start the neo4j service.

Important

When using Neo4j 3.2 and above, security for procedures and functions has increased. To allow procedures, edit the configuration file <neo4j-home>\conf\neo4j.conf with dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=apoc.*,blueprint41.*. See Neo4j APOC Procedures.
