Call Records To Identify Criminal: Quick Start

Inspired be Neo4j Movies Application === The Stack

These are the components of our Web Application:

• Application Type: Python-Web Application

• Web framework: Flask (Micro-Webframework)

• Neo4j Database Connector: Neo4j Python Driver for Cypher Docs

• Database: Neo4j-Server (3.x) with multi-database

• Frontend: jquery, bootstrap, d3.js

Setup

First remember to create new Neo4j Database with dumb file in repo as "call_record".

Get yourself setup with virtualenv so we don’t break any other Python stuff you have on your machine. After you’ve got that installed let’s setup an environment for our app:

virtualenv neo4j-movies
source neo4j-movies/bin/activate

The next step is to install the dependencies for the app with pip (or pip3 for python3):

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run locally

Start your local Neo4j Server (Download & Install), open the Neo4j Browser. Then install the Movies data-set with :play movies, click the statement, and hit the triangular "Run" button.

And finally let’s start up a Flask web server:

python movies.py
# or python3 movies.py


Running on http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Navigate to http://localhost:8080 and you should see your first Neo4j application
