https://neo4j.com/docs/labs/nsmntx/current/install/ A few issues I had with the installation instructions that I think could be easy to improve. I'm a new user that is used to figuring out things on my own but these instructions missed some important information for a new person.

1. The "neo4j-home" location is not clear. Even finding the list of normal installation locations also only used a "neo4j-home" root so that was not helpful (https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/configuration/file-locations/). On Windows, I looked in the default locations, Programs, Programs x86, appdata, documents. I found the folder used in the settings of Neo4J Desktop (the Document folder). It took some searching to find that the plugin folder is located in each database folder within the Document location (not intuitive). This is the post that helped and with 3K views I can't be the only one trying to figure this out (https://community.neo4j.com/t/where-is-neo4j-home/6488).

2. Next the "call dbms.procedures()" instruction does not mention to open the database in the browser in order to enter this command. I tried the terminal first before trial and error got me to opening the database in the browser.

3. I'm then supposed to check the output of the above command with "The list of procedures should include the ones documented below." However, there are no procedures "below"

I had to go this route because I tried clicking on "install" in the "Graph Apps Gallery" and the graphapps.io link but both did not produce anything that looked like an install (no activity or prompts)

Hi @FireBelow, thanks for taking the time to describe these issues. We'll try to address them ASAP. Cheers, JB.
