Neo4j 1.9.4 Windows Installer- where did the shell go?

Question

When you install 1.9.4 using the new Windows installer, from where does one launch the Neo4j-Shell (previously found in bin)?

Answer 1

You can uninstall your neo4j windowns instalation version, so you can download an zip file with contains the neo4j binary version for Windows at http://www.neo4j.org/download. Using this version, you can find the bin, conf and lib folder. Besides that, you can find the Neo4jShell.bat. This file is the shell.

Answer 2

For future googlers who end up here, there is a cypher shell at <neo4_dir>\bin\cypher-shell.bat. Neo4j-CE-3.1.0

Answer 3

The neo4j-shell isn't currently shipping with the neo4j desktop but you can launch it by running the following command from 'C:\Program Files\Neo4j Community\' (or equivalent location:):

jre\bin\java -classpath bin\neo4j-desktop-1.9.4.jar org.neo4j.shell.StartClient

I'm not sure whether there are plans to include it in the next release, I'll check.

Answer 4

I believe the stand alone Neo4j-Shell isn't included in the installer for 1.9.4, but there is the Power tool console in the web interface, and you can also use the shell from the 1.8.3 package. I have no idea if it's supported though, but it seems to work.
