Direct download
The packaged distribution is Neo4j Community compiled from source with the DozerDB plugin already in lib/ and the classpath configured, with nothing extra to wire up. Just download, extract, and run.
- Download the current Linux/macOS or Windows distribution from the downloads section.
- Extract the archive.
-
Start it from the extracted folder:
./bin/neo4j consolebin\neo4j console - Open http://localhost:7474 and log in with neo4j/neo4j, and you'll be prompted to set a new password.
Add APOC (optional)
- Download the newest APOC Core jar from github.com/neo4j/apoc/releases into the plugins/ folder.
-
Create conf/apoc.conf with:
apoc.import.file.enabled=true apoc.export.file.enabled=true apoc.import.file.use_neo4j_config=true- apoc.import.file.enabled: import JSON, CSV, or GraphML via APOC procedures.
- apoc.export.file.enabled: export graph data out to files.
- apoc.import.file.use_neo4j_config: respect Neo4j's directory restrictions, keeping file access inside the import/ folder.
-
In conf/neo4j.conf, allow the APOC procedures:
dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=apoc.*
Add Open Graph Data Science (open-gds) (optional)
- Download the newest open-gds jar from github.com/DozerDB/graph-data-science/releases into the plugins/ folder.
-
In conf/neo4j.conf, allow the GDS procedures:
dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=gds.*
Plugin install
Two steps on an existing Neo4j Community installation:
export CLASSPATH_PREFIX=$NEO4J_HOME/lib/dozerdb-plugin-5.26.27.0.jarset CLASSPATH_PREFIX=%NEO4J_HOME%\lib\dozerdb-plugin-5.26.27.0.jar- Download the plugin jar into $NEO4J_HOME/lib.
- Set CLASSPATH_PREFIX to the jar's absolute path (above) and start Neo4j as usual.

Schema Constraints
Enterprise schema features such as property existence and uniqueness constraints to keep production data honest.
Telemetry Disabled
Outgoing metrics and phone-home reporting are switched off, so nothing leaves your network. Built for air-gapped and classified environments.
Hardened Containers
Security-hardened Docker images: non-root execution, minimized dependencies, vulnerability scanning. More for government users →
OpenGDS
We compile and publish Open GDS so the graph data science library runs on Neo4j Community & DozerDB, with no Enterprise license required.
Free & Open. Forever.
100% GPL open source. No enterprise tier, no license negotiations, no per-core pricing. That's the whole point of the project.
// why dozerdb
What is DozerDB
DozerDB enhances Neo4j® Community Edition with the enterprise features it's missing, 100% free and open source under the GPL license. Our goal is simple: make production-grade graph capabilities available to everyone, at no cost.
When Neo4j closed the source of its Enterprise Edition, the US government was left without a free and open graph database it could trust in its environments. DozerDB originated from that need, and today it serves government and commercial teams around the world.

Three ways to run it
Plugin
Drop the jar into your existing Neo4j Community installation, set one environment variable, and you're off and running.
Pre-packaged distribution
Download a ready-to-run distribution with the plugin already configured, a good fit when your organization whitelists specific software.
Docker
Spin up a DozerDB-enhanced graph in seconds with hardened, multi-arch container images, Kubernetes-ready via our Helm charts.
// us government
Built for US Government environments
DozerDB exists because the government needed a free and open graph database it could deploy with confidence. Our container hardening follows the practices sensitive environments expect:
- Minimal, well-maintained base images
- Non-root execution
- Minimized dependencies
- Offline-build discipline
- Vulnerability scanning
GPL-licensed and fully open source, deployable where commercial licensing is impractical, including air-gapped and classified networks. Questions about accreditation or hardening? Reach us on GitHub.

Graph Data Science Plugin
We compile and publish Open Graph Data Science (open-gds) so the Graph Data Science library runs on Neo4j® Community & DozerDB, with no Enterprise license required. Download it from DozerDB/graph-data-science releases.
In the Docker image, load it by adding "open-gds" to NEO4J_PLUGINS:
--env NEO4J_PLUGINS='["apoc","open-gds"]' \
--env NEO4J_apoc_export_file_enabled=true \
--env NEO4J_apoc_import_file_enabled=true \
--env NEO4J_dbms_security_procedures_unrestricted='*' \Not using Docker? See Add open-gds in the quick start for installing the jar on a direct-download distribution.
