Connect to the database¶

You can use a free local install of the Neo4j database, or a remote one on a virtual machine under your control, or a hosted solution, or simply the FREE "Sandbox" : instructions here ¶

NOTE: This tutorial is tested on version 4 of the Neo4j database, but will probably also work on the new version 5# Connect to the database

# Save your credentials here - or use the prompts given by the next cell
host = ""             # EXAMPLES:  bolt://123.456.789.012   OR   neo4j://localhost
password = ""
