## Notes

Neo4j is a graph database server that stores data as nodes and relationships and is queried with the Cypher language. The [operations manual](https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/) covers installs from Debian, RPM and tar packages, a Windows zip archive and a Docker image, and it describes the server as a background process once started. The server runs on a Java virtual machine that the host has to supply, and Neo4j Browser is the developer interface that ships with it. Neo4j, Inc. maintains it, and Neo4j AuraDB is offered as a fully managed service.
