When I use neo4j-admin import to import data, I keep getting errors in the attachment. How can I solve it, thank you!

"File Not Found" is a pretty strong indicator of what's wrong...

My guess it's most likely the import directory is wrong. Or perhaps you made typo with a file name.

One thing I always do, is modify the import directory in settings to something like:

`dbms.directories.import=ABSOLUTE_DIRECTORY_PATH`

from the default:

`dbms.directories.import=import`
