Hi there,

GDS 2.11 does not support Neo4j 5.25.1 (as it says in the error message); you can see the list of supported versions in the documentation: [Supported Neo4j versions - Neo4j Graph Data Science](https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-data-science/current/installation/supported-neo4j-versions/)

GDS 2.12 will soon be released and will support 5.25.1.

Thanks @paul.horn for the reply!

The mentioned link does not show any GDS that supports 5.25.1, so that means I need to wait until GDS 2.12 is released?  
I cannot downgrade my neo4j now. So waiting is what I need to do?

Depending on how you have installed Neo4j, you might find a compatible version in the `products` folder of the Neo4j installation (it would be next to `lib` or `plugins`) and you can move the GDS jar from that folder to `plugins` to install that version (and remove the older GDS jar, having both in there is not going to work).

If this does not apply to your installation of Neo4j, then, yes, you'd have to wait until 2.12 is released (which will be within the next 24 hours).

Yes, have checked the products folder, it only has genai plugin.

Anyways, 24 Hrs seems a relief. Thanks for the update @paul.horn  
Will wait until tomorrow!

Thanks!

@jay7ta

odd.. I just downlaoded Neo4j 5.25.1 as a tar and see more than just genai, as evidence

```auto
~/single$ cd instance1/neo4j-enterprise-5.25.1/products/

neo4j@ubuntu22dockerdebjava17:~/single/instance1/neo4j-enterprise-5.25.1/products$ ls
bloom-plugin-5.x-2.16.0.jar neo4j-graph-data-science-2.12.0.jar README.txt
neo4j-genai-plugin-5.25.1.jar neo4j-ops-manager-server-1.11.0-unix.tar.gz

Not sure @dana_canzano but thanks for letting me know it comes with these many plugins.

I have community version of neo4j & also I have downloaded via my company's portal. Maybe they might have some restriction or policy setup.

Thanks!

GDS 2.12 is shipped, but the website doesn't reflect that yet 😕 It should be available in Neo4j Desktop or in Docker, or you can download it from [https://graphdatascience.ninja/neo4j-graph-data-science-2.12.0.jar](https://graphdatascience.ninja/neo4j-graph-data-science-2.12.0.jar) (which is where the deployment center eventually will point to).
