Appendix A. Installing Neo4j server
The instructions detailed in this appendix are geared toward installing Neo4j server from the compressed tar.gz (Mac/Unix) or zip (Windows) files.
Windows users are lucky enough to be the first recipients of the binary installer package, with binary installers for Mac/Unix coming in due course. If you’d prefer to use the binary Windows installer, please follow the instructions on the Neo4j website at http://neo4j.org/download.
