Install Neo4j Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I am following this blog to install latest Neo4j in Ubuntu 18.04.

I already update ubuntu with following commands.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

When I followed Neo4j installation step at the end every time getting the error:

Unable to locate package neo4j

Problem is here:

$ sudo apt-get udpate

Reading package lists... Done                                                                   
E: Release file for https://debian.neo4j.org/repo/stable/Release is not valid yet (invalid for another 1min 22s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.
W: Debian shuts down public FTP services currently still used in your sources.list(5) as 'ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/'.
   See press release https://debian.org/News/2017/20170425 for details.

Solution

I also had the same problem.

If you can't get around this, there's an option to install from a tarball

"Release file for debian.neo4j.org/repo/stable/Release is not valid yet (invalid for another 1min 22s)." – Looks like you need to try again in 1 minute and 22 seconds.

Debian shuts down public FTP services, there is an alternative for that.

This is the right answer, is working for me.

I'd recommend adding the TLS enabled debian.neo4j.org/repo - instead of cleartext HTTP.

Also get the key with certificate verification. If wget -O - https://debian.neo4j.org/neotechnology.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add - doesn't work without error, something is likely wrong with your TLS certificate store.
