Installing Neo4j in an Azure Linux VM by Howard Dierking.
From the post:
I’ve been playing with Neo4j a lot recently. I’ll be writing a lot more about that later, but at a very very high level, Neo4j is a graph database that in addition to some language-specific bindings has a slick HTTP interface. You can install it on Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX, so if you’re more comfortable on Windows, don’t read this post and think that you can’t play with this awesome database unless you forget everything you know, replace your wardrobe with black turtlenecks, and write all your code in vi (though that is an option). For me, though, I hate installers and want the power of a package manager such as homebrew (OSX) or apt-get (Linux). So I’m going to take you through the steps that I went through to get neo4j running on Linux. And just to have a little more fun with things, I’ll host neo4j on a Linux VM hosted in Azure.
Azure, Neo4j, a Linux VM and CLI tools, what more could you want?
Definitely a must read post for an easy Neo4j launch on an Azure Linux VM.
Howard promises more posts on Neo4j to follow.
