I have installed version 1.5.8 of the Neo4j Desktop. I created a Database with 5.3.0 and 5.11.0  
The Call  
neo4j$ RETURN gds.version()

leads in both cases to an error:  
Unknown function 'gds.version' (line 1, column 8 (offset: 7))  
"RETURN gds.version()"

The same error appears when trying to connect to the local instance via Python...

What am I doing wrong?  
Thx for some tips

Did you install the GDS library?
