6. My colleague Elaine Rosenberg has created a video that
shows how to get up and running with the Neo4j Sandbox.
We have several sandboxes with built in datasets such as
the Panama Papers and Russian Twitter
Trolls, but you can also create a blank
sandbox if you just want to play with
Neo4j and can't install locally.
