Steps Taken:

1. Clone the repo
2. Create venv, pip install -e .
3. move to comps/dataprep/neo4j/langchain/
4. Follow readme
   • pip install requirements
   • Run docker setup for python (login and access to neo4j through local host is working)
   • Set Neo4J environment variables and pythonpath
   • Run Python script

docker run \
    -p 7474:7474 -p 7687:7687 \
    -v $PWD/data:/data -v $PWD/plugins:/plugins \
    --name neo4j-apoc \
    -d \
    -e NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/password \
    -e NEO4J_PLUGINS=\[\"apoc\"\]  \
    neo4j:latest

 export NEO4J_URI="bolt://localhost:7687"
export NEO4J_USERNAME="neo4j"
export NEO4J_PASSWORD="password"

python retriever_neo4j.py

Final Error Message

Hi Ajaykallepalli thank you a lot for reporting the problem. Have you tried to build the same component on some linux machine as we don't test Mac OS, not sure if it is work or not.

Here is some reference:

OPEA : recommended hardware and basic software setup.

Hardware Requirements: For the hardware configuration, If you need Hardware Access visit the Intel Tiber Developer Cloud to select from options such as Xeon or Gaudi processors that meet the necessary specifications.

If you are deploying it on cloud, say AWS, select a VM instance from R7iz or m7i family of instances with base OS as Ubuntu 22.04 (AWS ami id : ami-05134c8ef96964280).

thanks
