Having trouble getting started

[alex7]

I'm running Garuda (based on Arch) and I'm trying to get bloodhound working for the first time. I believe it was automatically downloaded with I installed bloodhound with pacman. I had trouble getting this version working:

λ neo4j version
WARNING! You are using an unsupported Java runtime.

• Please use Oracle(R) Java(TM) 8, OpenJDK(TM) or IBM J9 to run Neo4j.
• Please see Neo4j documentation - Neo4j Documentation for Neo4j installation instructions.
  Error: Could not find or load main class org.neo4j.server.CommunityEntryPoint
  Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.neo4j.server.CommunityEntryPoint

So I just downloaded the desktop appimage. I thought this was working because bloodhound no longer said "no database found" and it changed from a red X to a green check mark. But then I went to log in with neo4j:neo4j and it said incorrect username/pass. However after restarting my machine it changed back to "no database found" on the default bolt://localhost:7687.

I ran systemctl start neo4j.service and then status and it was running but then running status one second later it changed back to failed.

Here's what I see when I try starting it:

[] × sudo neo4j start

  Started neo4j (pid 10886). It is available at http://localhost:7474/
  There may be a short delay until the server is ready.
  See /usr/logs/neo4j.log for current status.

Going to http://localhost:7474/ did not work.

I guess I have an empty file /usr/share/neo4j/logs/neo4j.log
And a filled file /var/log/neo4j/neo4j.log

Would really love some help, I've been researching for hours with no luck.
