How to create a Community Edition database using Neo4j Desktop?


All databases created by Neo4j Desktop are in Enterprise Edition. How can I choose Community Edition instead?

Below is the screenshot of the software. Whatever version is chosen, the Enterprise Edition is always used.

Did I miss something? Or it is not possible to use Community Edition via Neo4j Desktop at all?


Solution

  • Neo4j Desktop is is designed to help people work with Neo4j EE. To quote the docs:

    Neo4j Desktop is free to download and includes a Neo4j Enterprise Edition Developer license. This gives you access to all the capabilities and features of Neo4j Enterprise Edition ...

    Although Neo4j Desktop does not help you install Neo4j Community Edition instances, you can still use it to work with an already-installed Neo4j CE instance by connecting to it via a Remote connection.
