The neo4j-core
gem (automatically included with the neo4j
gem) includes some rake tasks which make it easy to install and manage a Neo4j server in the same directory as your Ruby project.
Note
If you are using zsh, you need to prefix any rake tasks with arguments with the noglob command, e.g. $ noglob bundle exec rake neo4j:install[community-latest]
.
