How to migrate from Neo4j Community to Enterprise edition (on Ubuntu)?

Question

I'm currently running Neo4j Community edition, and would like to upgrade to the Enterprise edition.

What is the best way to do this?

---

I have installed the Enterprise edition with:

sudo apt-get install neo4j-enterprise

But when I run...

sudo neo4j start

...I believe I am still running the community edition.

I couldn't find any instructions on how to migrate on the Neo4j website.

Answer 1

1. Take a dump of your database (neo4j-admin dump)
2. Remove the neo4j installation (sudo apt-get remove neo4j)
3. Install neo4j-enterprise (sudo apt-get install neo4j-enterprise)
4. Load the database (neo4j-admin load)

Do not combine the two installations together (as you have been doing).

Hope this helps, Tom
