You don’t need anything other than a browser to access and complete this course.

A blank Neo4j Sandbox instance has been created for you to use during this course.

You can open a Neo4j Browser window throughout this course by clicking the Toggle Sandbox button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

What is Neo4j Sandbox?

Neo4j Sandbox is a free service that allows you to create pre-populated Neo4j instances.

Neo4j Sandbox is the perfect environment for experimenting with Neo4j.

You can log into Neo4j Sandbox and create a database with many pre-populated datasets by visiting sandbox.neo4j.com.

Extending Your Sandbox Instance

By default, a Neo4j sandbox instance exists for 3 days. You can extend it for another 7 days by going to the sandbox site and extending it in the details (right-most down arrow) for the blank sandbox.
