Note

All the Cypher code used in this book has been tested on Neo4j version 4.4.8 but should work with the latest Neo4j 5.0 release.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.

You can join the Neo4j community at https://community.neo4j.com to get answers to most Cypher or Neo4j-related questions. There is a huge developer community that answers all the basic syntax to modeling-related questions.
