GDS Installation for Remote Instance Connections on Mac

I am working on Neo4j Desktop App on the Mac. I have an instance that i am remotely connecting to using the desktop app. I am using ssh on my VS Code to work with this.

I have been trying to install GDS for hours. I have tried dragging file onto local folders. Tried following all tutorials online. Nothing is working. What do i do?

@vkaushik02 could you be more specific on what you tried?

If you remotely connect using Neo4j Desktop, I would recommend following Neo4j Server - Neo4j Graph Data Science

I tried following the exact same instructions multiple times, however it never enabled gds for me. Is there a mac-specific guide available? I just want GDS on my instance, even if I am accessing it not through the app but the browser

@vkaushik02 let me try to see if I understand you problem correctly before we are able to give you some help

  1. You have a remote server running a Neo4j database
  2. You are using Neo4j Desktop to connect to the remote server
  3. You are trying to install GDS plugin via the Neo4j Desktop - copying the plugin to local directory

Are these all correct?

Thank you,

Correct. Since, getting GDS directly on the instance requires a premium version (what i read online), I tried this approach, however it just wasn't recognising that I have installed the GDS plugin. I placed the file in the correct directory, and changed the setting as well/

I have attempted to follow the exact same steps, but it never enabled gds for me. Is there a handbook designed just for Mac users? Even if I'm using the browser rather than the app to view it, I only want GDS on my instance.

Thank you for the clarification.

GDS is a server plugin, in order to have it installed you would need to do that on the remote server, and you would need to restart the database running on the remote server for the changes to take effect.

I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,

Can you please explain how exactly I can do that?
