# Neo4J Server Chef Cookbook

This is an OpsCode Chef cookbook for Neo4J Server (Community or Enterprise edition).

It uses officially released tarballs to install Neo4J under /usr/local/neo4j-server,
provides Upstart service script and allows you to tweak many parameters using Chef node
attributes.


## Neo4J Server Version

This cookbook currently provides Neo4J Server 2.2 (Community Edition by default, Enterprise if you opt in) but can be used
to install other versions by overriding data bag attributes.

Main recipe is `neo4j-server::tarball`.
