Setting Up GraphRAG Neo4j GenAI Environment on Fedora Using Ansible

A comprehensive guide to deploying GraphRAG Neo4j GenAI with Ansible on Fedora, featuring full-text and vector indexes, and integrating with OpenAI.

In this article, we will walk through the steps to set up a Neo4j GenAI Python environment on a Fedora system using Ansible automation. This setup will enable you to deploy a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that integrates with a Neo4j graph database and utilizes OpenAI’s language models for interactive data retrieval and analysis.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

• A Fedora system with root access.
• Ansible installed on your control machine.
• Access to the OpenAI API and a valid API key.
• Credentials and URI for your Neo4j database.

Additionally, we will be using the Northwind dataset to populate our Neo4j database. For more information on importing the Northwind dataset into Neo4j, refer to the Northwind Dataset Guide.
