I have cypher files in my `import` folder which I would like to import using the neo4j browser. However,

```auto
CALL apoc.cypher.runFile("myfile.cypher");

```

gives me

```auto
Neo.ClientError.Procedure.ProcedureNotFound
There is no procedure with the name `apoc.cypher.runFile` registered for this database instance. Please ensure you've spelled the procedure name correctly and that the procedure is properly deployed.

```

However, APOC 5.7.0 is installed and all the other `apoc.cypher.run*` procedures are available. I have also

```auto
dbms.security.procedures.allowlist=apoc.*
dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=jwt.security.*,apoc.*

```

in my `neo4j.conf` and

```auto
apoc.export.file.enabled=true
apoc.import.file.enabled=true

```

in my `apoc.conf`

Am I missing something?

Hello @boulanger 🙂

Be aware that with Neo4j 5, there are now 2 APOC plugins:

- [APOC Core](https://neo4j.com/docs/apoc/5/)
- [APOC Extended](https://neo4j.com/labs/apoc/5/)

The procedure `CALL apoc.cypher.runFile("myfile.cypher");` is in [APOC Extended](https://neo4j.com/labs/apoc/5/overview/#_apoc_cypher).

Best regards,  
Cobra

Aaah - thanks, I had not realized that. I have downloaded the plugin jar file and placed it into the `plugin` directory. Now the procedure is found!

Why are there now two APOC plugins? I upgraded from Neo4j v4 to v5 and now a ton shit is breaking because it can't find like 1 or 2 apoc functions I was using. Ggggrrrrr
