How to start neo4j server (desktop edition) using python and without launching the desktop application?

[mohamed_elzonko]

I'm using neo4j Desktop Edition v4.4 & I've integrated it with python (3.10) to create nodes and relationships.. this part is working fine, but I need to interact with neo4j server and database offline (without launching the desktop server). Would you please support?

You can spin up a server without neo4j desktop.

• Install the server following the instructions for your OS Installation - Operations Manual
• or, easier and my preferred way: spin up the neo4j server inside a docker container Neo4j with Docker - Developer Guides
