Please keep the following things in mind:

  1. did you search for what you want to ask before posting?
  2. please use tags for additional info
  3. use a self-descriptive title

Please format code + Cypher statements with the code </> icon, it's much easier to read.

Please provide the following information if you ran into a more serious issue:

  • neo4j version, desktop version, browser version
  • what kind of API / driver do you use
  • screenshot of PROFILE or EXPLAIN with boxes expanded (lower right corner)
  • a sample of the data you want to import
  • which plugins / extensions / procedures do you use
  • neo4j.log and debug.

I am using the neo4j 1.5.9, dbms 5.3.0 , my dbms shuts down once I install the gds 2.5.4 via plugins but dbms starts fine once I uninstall the GDS plugin but the dbms starts fine with the APOC plugin installed.

please find the neo4j.log

Hello @olojolabamiji ,
We had an error in our version mapping. As you can see at Supported Neo4j versions - Neo4j Graph Data Science for Neo4j 5.3 - GDS 2.4.6 should be installed by Neo4j Desktop.

We just pushed a fix, so it should resolve itself if you reinstall the GDS plugin.
I would recommend though, to use the latest Neo4j version

thank you for the prompt response. I installed the GDS 2.4.6 and it works well. Thanks again. I also noticed the syntax of using the gds has changed like create to project. I have been able to make the necessray update to my python code but I have challenges with dropping the created graph in python. It used to be " call gds.drop("Graph")" which worked. I tried using the "gds.graph.nodeProperties.drop" but it gives an error
py2neo.errors.ClientError: [Statement.SyntaxError] Procedure call does not provide the required number of arguments: got 1 expected at least 2 (total: 3, 1 of which have default values).

Procedure gds.graph.nodeProperties.drop has signature: gds.graph.nodeProperties.drop(graphName :: STRING?, nodeProperties :: ANY?, configuration = Map{} :: MAP?) :: graphName :: STRING?, nodeProperties :: LIST? OF STRING?, propertiesRemoved :: INTEGER?
meaning that it expects at least 2 arguments of types STRING?, ANY?
Description: Removes node properties from a projected graph. (line 2, column 1 (offset:
9))
" call gds.graph.nodeProperties.drop("Graph")"

sorted the syntax issue relating to the drop. thanks

Good morning Florentin, I upgraded the GDS to 2.5.6 and the same problem I had before installing 2.4.6 started all over again. I am running desktop 1.5.9 version with the APOC 5.3.0. The GDS 2.5.6 crashes the desktop on startup. Is it something you are aware off? If I want to re-install the 2.4.6 how do I go about it as it was working fine.
best regards

Hello @olojolabamiji ,
thanks for reporting this issue and sorry for the inconvenience!
I am very embarrassed to say, that the fix was not applied on all places.
Now we updated them all and it should be running smoothly again :crossed_fingers:
