Install Memgraph

Memgraph bundles the database along with various analytical tools into distinct Docker images. If you're new to Memgraph or you're in a developing stage, we recommend using the memgraph-platform image. Besides the database, it also includes all the tools you might need to analyze your data, such as command-line interface mgconsole, web interface Memgraph Lab and a complete set of algorithms within a MAGE library.

With the Docker (opens in a new tab) running in the background, run the following command in the console:

docker run -p 7687:7687 -p 7444:7444 -p 3000:3000 --name memgraph memgraph/memgraph-platform

You can stop the instance with docker stop memgraph and start it with docker start memgraph commands.

Once you're ready to go to production you can choose to use the memgraph-mage Docker image that includes the database and the graph library, or run the database only, using the memgraph image.

Other installation options are also available.

You don't want to bother with installation? Done!
