=== Setup
First get yourself setup with link:http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/[virtualenv] so we don't break any other Python stuff you have on your machine. After you've got that installed let's setup an environment for our app:
[source]
$ virtualenv neo4jrestclient-movies $ source neo4jrestclient-movies/bin/activate
The next step is to install the dependencies for the app:
[source]
(neo4jrestclient-movies)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
=== Run locally
Start your local Neo4j Server (http://neo4j.com/download[Download & Install]), open the http://localhost:7474[Neo4j Browser]. Then install the Movies data-set with :play movies, click the statement, and hit the triangular "Run" button.
And finally let's start up a Flask web server:
[source]
(neo4jrestclient-movies)$ python movies.py
- Running on http://127.0.0.1:8080/
Navigate to http://localhost:8080 and you should see your first Neo4j application
