Automates installing Neo4j on an EC2 Linux system, optionally creating the EC2 machine also.

This module will install Neo4j, and its dependencies (e.g. a JVM). It's designed to run on a server and expose the REST API over the network.

• Installs Neo4j community from stable Debian packages
• Choose OpenJDK or Oracle JVM
• Daily cold backup to an Amazon EBS volume (defaults to /dev/xvdj)
• Will optionally generate EC2 machine, EBS volume, static IP, etc.

(for those new to Amazon EC2)

See the CloudFormation notes

(for people who are comfortable with Ubuntu and/or EC2)

• Aquire a fresh Ubuntu machine (virtual, cloud or bare metal)

• Run a shell on it, and apply the commands below (you can paste them directly in)

wget https://raw.github.com/neo4j-contrib/neo4j-puppet/master/go

chmod +x go

sudo ./go true bob bob123 #accepts Oracle license, sets a username and password

• Go to the water cooler.
• Come back.
• Visit http://your machine's IP:7474/db/data to see your Neo4j endpoint.
