To create a database in Neo4j, follow these steps:

  1. To install the Neo4j database, first, you need to download and install it from the official Neo4j website (https://neo4j.com/). Choose the appropriate version for your operating system and follow the installation wizard.
  2. Start the Neo4j database: Once the installation is complete, start the Neo4j database. Locate the bin folder in the installation directory and run the startup script, such as neo4j.bat (Windows) or neo4j (Mac/Linux). This will start the Neo4j database server.
  3. Access the Neo4j browser: Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:7474 (default port number) to enter the Neo4j browser interface.
  4. Create a database: In the Neo4j browser, create a database by executing Cypher query statements. For example, you can create a database named “MyDatabase” by executing the following query statement.
CREATE DATABASE MyDatabase
  1. View database list: run the following query to see all the databases that have been created:
SHOW DATABASES

This way, you can create and manage Neo4j databases. Note that Neo4j databases can be operated and queried using the Cypher query language. You can use keywords such as CREATE, MATCH, MERGE, DELETE to create, query, and modify nodes and relationships in the database.
