Neo4j Desktop

After opening Neo4j Desktop, you can find the Graph Data Science Library plugin in the Plugins tab of a database.

neo4j desktop gds

The installer downloads the GDS library and installs it in the plugins directory of the database.

Configuration

You can edit the configuration file for a database by clicking on the ellipsis (…​) button and opening the Settings…​ menu item.

The installer automatically adds the following entry to the configuration:

dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=gds.*

This configuration entry is necessary because the GDS library accesses low-level components of Neo4j to maximise performance.

If the procedure allowlist is configured, make sure to also include procedures from the GDS library:

dbms.security.procedures.allowlist=gds.*
