How can I use a database created with neo4j-admin import in Neo4J desktop

Neo4j Graph Platform Desktop
2

If you want to use desktop do the following:

  1. create a new dbms in desktop
  2. open the terminal for that dbms
  3. run bin/neo4j-admin import .. in that terminal
  4. start that dbms
  5. if you imported into a different than the default "neo4j" database, switch to the system db and run create database mydb;

Alternatively you can use neo4j-admin dump on your db in /var/lib/neo4j and then import the dump file in desktop like shown above.

Just make sure your neo4j db in /var/lib is stopped when you use desktop
