Genetta-Server

Genetta requires a neo4j server active and running with the APOC, and GDS plugins enabled. Genetta contains a docker-compose file which can be used to fully setup and start the web application.

Installation

Docker

2. Navigate to this directory.
3. sudo chmod +x startup.sh
4. ./startup

Without Docker

  1. $ wget -O - https://debian.neo4j.com/neotechnology.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
  2. $ echo 'deb https://debian.neo4j.com stable latest' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neo4j.list
  3. $ sudo apt-get update
  4. $ sudo apt-get install neo4j=1:4.4.6
• Enable APOC (https://neo4j.com/labs/apoc/4.1/installation/)

  2. $ sudo neo4j restart
• Install GDS (https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-data-science/current/installation/neo4j-server/)
