Running cypher scripts?

Neo4j Graph Platform Cypher
1

A newbie question that I have searched everywhere for a solution and I can't figure it out...

I'm trying to bulk load my constraints by running a cypher script using the following APOC procedure that should be available according to the neo4j APOC documentation...

apoc.cypher.runFile

However, when I use neo4j browser to try and CALL this procedure I get an error stating this procedure does not exist.

What am I missing???

That procedure is in the extended or full version depending version 4 or 5.

Look under the assists for the version you want download the Guillain or extended versions. Move the downloaded jar to yourcdb’s plugins folder and restart.

or why not simply pass said file into bin/cypher-shell and as described at

and

Example 4. Running Cypher statements from a file as a cypher-shell argument.
You can pass a file containing Cypher statements as an argument when running cypher-shell.

The examples here use the --format plain flag for a simple output.

Using cat (UNIX)

    cat example.cypher | bin/cypher-shell -u neo4j -p <password> --format plain

Using type (Windows)

    type example.cypher | bin/cypher-shell.bat -u neo4j -p <password> --format plain
