Installing Jupyter Notebook

If you don't have Jupyter Notebook installed, go ahead and download it using pip.

Note: While it's not strictly required, the alternative is to copy and paste code blocks from the Jupyter Notebook file (view neo4j-tutorial.ipynb on GitHub) to a Python script and run it through your terminal or IDE.

Next, if you haven't already, you'll need to install Neo4j and get access to the data we'll be using. To do this, access the instructions and the rest of the tutorial by loading up the Jupyter Notebook. Type the following command into your terminal:

jupyter-notebook
