Neo4j db slow running it on Mac M1 with neo4j desktop

I downloaded the neo4j desktop to my Mac M1, I notice that the same import which takes a few minutes on an Ubuntu 20.04 machine (same running a neo4j db in desktop setup) is extremely slow. (48 hours for the same query)

Solution

  • After talking to some neo4j folks on the conference: https://mkyong.com/java/how-to-install-java-on-mac-osx/

    you need to:

    1. brew install java
    2. sudo ln -sfn /opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk.jdk

    I already had a neo4j desktop on my machine so to make it work I reinstalled the neo4j desktop and created a new db, now the import flies.

    (And you probably do not need to reinstall just create a new db)
