Welcome to Browser Guides! This is the interface for performing exercises to this Neo4j course. They are presented in the form of self-paced exercises. Navigate through the exercises by pressing the forward button at the right of the window.

We start by walking you through some preparations and instructions. If you have used Neo4j Browser Guides before, you can skip to the last page.

If you are using Neo4j Desktop, ensure that the project you have selected for use with Neo4j Browser is connected to a database that is started.

If you are using a Neo4j Sandbox or Neo4j Aura, the Neo4j Browser is already connected to a started database.

If you are using Neo4j Desktop, you can load data either from a URL or from a local file.

Here is a ZIP file containing the course data files if you want to access them locally: neo4j-implementing-modeling.zip

Assuming you have uncompressed the ZIP file for this course, copy the neo4j-implementing-modeling\*.csv files to the import folder for your database as follows:

The import folder will appear as follows:

Note: If you are using a Neo4j Sandbox or Neo4j Aura, then you cannot place any files locally for loading.

Each exercise starts with a Preparations page. It shows you how to reset the database and make sure that it will produce the expected results. This is useful, for example, if you have made a mistake in one of the previous exercises, or if you have done some testing on your own.

Many of the exercises contain code blocks with runnable code. Follow these steps in order to run the code in your database:

Some exercises include optional sections called Taking it further. These are extra exercises that you can complete if you have more time, in order to gain more experience with implementing graph data models.
