Neo4j does not work with the neo4j start command

Neo4j Graph Platform Installation

I'm new to Neo4j and I'm trying to install and launch neo4j-community edition on an instance of EC2 (Ubuntu) on AWS. I have followed some tutorials but I am confused as should be the configuration of the file neo4j.conf to expose with the IP of the EC2 and port of neo4j and connect from any PC.

Ubuntu version: 18.04.5 LTS
Neo4j version: 4.1.1

Running neo4j console I get the following:
