I've downloaded Neo4j desktop on my computer and as part of the install process, it installs Java 8. Right now it throws the following error after the download is completed:

Initialization error: Error: MD5 sum of the downloaded file did not match the expected value. Please try again!

Can't seem to find anything online / anyone else with this problem. Any help would be appreciated!

Screenshot of the error that the installation is throwing.

There appears to be a bug in the download script, I've raised a ticket

here is a workaround, tested

Download http://cdn.azul.com/zulu/bin/zulu8.21.0.1-jdk8.0.131-macosx_x64.tar.gz

Copy the compressed file to: /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Neo4j Desktop/Application/distributions

Relaunch Neo4j Desktop

Should complete the install.

  • I tried the above and still got the errors: $ pwd /Users/[me]/Library/Application Support/Neo4j Desktop/Application/distributions $ ls java neo4j zulu8.21.0.1-jdk8.0.131-macosx_x64.tar.gz $ md5 zulu8.21.0.1-jdk8.0.131-macosx_x64.tar.gz MD5 (zulu8.21.0.1-jdk8.0.131-macosx_x64.tar.gz) = 455a4ab570b9486ec294c423275399df – Dan McCreary Dec 19 '17 at 02:01
  • Thanks for the response Michael. I've done as you said, but I'm still running into the same error. – Weiyi Yin Dec 19 '17 at 02:11
  • Worked for me! Needed to paste in the java directory. – Aniruddha Adhikary Dec 19 '17 at 03:25

I got similar error

Initialization error: Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, ..etc

I tried to installed Neo4J desktop in windows 7 64bit OS.

Uninstalling Node.js worked for me.
