Neo4j Stable Yum Repo

Documentation for the Neo4j RPM package is available here.

First, import our signing key:

rpm --import https://debian.neo4j.com/neotechnology.gpg.key

Then, you will need to add our yum repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo.

To avoid the risk of the yum package manager accidentally forcing a database upgrade, different major and minor releases of Neo4j are available separately inside the repository. When adding the Neo4j repository to yum, you must specify the major and minor version branch you wish to use.

Here are some examples:

Neo4j latest

cat < /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo
[neo4j]
name=Neo4j Yum Repo
baseurl=https://yum.neo4j.com/stable/latest
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
EOF

Neo4j 5

cat <<EOF>  /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo
[neo4j]
name=Neo4j Yum Repo
baseurl=https://yum.neo4j.com/stable/5
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
EOF

Neo4j 4.4

cat <<EOF>  /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo
[neo4j]
name=Neo4j Yum Repo
baseurl=https://yum.neo4j.com/stable/4.4
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
EOF

Neo4j 4.3

cat < /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo
[neo4j]
name=Neo4j Yum Repo
baseurl=https://yum.neo4j.com/stable/4.3
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
EOF

This numbering scheme continues down to major.minor version 3.4.

Neo4j versions before 3.4

Versions of Neo4j before 3.4 are all grouped together under the legacy label:

cat < /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo
[neo4j]
name=Neo4j Yum Repo
baseurl=https://yum.neo4j.com/stable/legacy
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
EOF
