To get the system up and running, it's essential to have Neo4J Desktop installed, which serves as the project's database. Below is a brief guide on how to install it:

1. Download the Application:

   • Visit Neo4j Download Page.
   • Fill out the form to initiate the download process.

2. Copy Neo4j Desktop Activation Key:

   • Copy the Neo4j Desktop Activation Key; you'll need it to activate your Neo4j Desktop account.

3. Install Neo4j Desktop:

   • On Windows:

     • After downloading, you'll get a file named "Neo4j Desktop Setup X.Y.Z.exe," where X.Y.Z corresponds to the Neo4j version.
     • Execute the .exe file.
     • Start Neo4j.

   • On Linux:

     • After downloading, you'll get a file named "neo4j-desktop-X.Y.Z-x86_86.AppImage."
     • AppImage packages don't need installation; they run directly.
     • To execute it, give execution permissions to the downloaded file and run it from a terminal:

       chmod a+x neo4j-desktop-X.Y.Z-x86_64.AppImage
       ./neo4j-desktop-X.Y.Z-x86_64.AppImage

4. Register the Software:

   • Enter the key copied earlier to register the software. This can also be done through the menu options.

5. Create DB:

   • On the GUI pulse on the market bottom and save the password.
   • The password must be also set on the config.ini.

6. Install Project Dependencies:

   • In a terminal, execute the following command to install the project dependencies:

     pip install -r requirements.txt

7. Run main.py:

   • Finally, execute main.py located at "src/main/python/main.py." You can do this from a development environment like PyCharm or Visual Studio Code or from the terminal.

   • On Windows:

     python main.py

   • On Linux:

     chmod +x main.py
     ./main.py

This guide ensures the setup of Neo4j and the project's dependencies, allowing you to run the system seamlessly.
