Neo4j CE 5.26.x (including up to the current 5.26.13) and Neo4j CE releases 2025.01-2025.04 do not include the GDS plugin. To use it, you have to download it separately.
At this time, we don’t have specific download links to direct users to.
Currently the best available resource is the GDS documentation.

I think this is the best we can do at the moment. Tagging @Mats-SX as he is aware of the issue as well.

I added some suggestions.


If your Neo4j CE installation does not include the bundled GDS plugin, you will need to download it separately.
Before installation, verify compatibility between your Neo4j version and the GDS library by consulting the link:{neo4j-docs-base-uri}/graph-data-science/current/installation/supported-neo4j-versions[the GDS compatibility matrix] in the GDS documentation.
For detailed installation, refer to the corresponding Neo4j GDS manual.

The installation details are the same as those we have here. So, I think we can remove this sentence.

Also, I think we need to move these sentences after the note below, as otherwise we split the message about fleet management.

No, they are not the same. The latest GDS documentation won't cover custom installation when you need to download the plugin manually. That's why it's important to direct users to the specific GDS manual. Let's say, if it's Neo4j 5.26, then you will need GDS manual for the 2.13 version, not for the current one which is 2.22.

See link:{neo4j-docs-base-uri}/aura/fleet-management/setup/[Aura documentation -> Fleet Management -> Add a deployment] for more information.

Can we combine these sentences into one? Something like:
"If your Neo4j CE installation does not include the bundled GDS plugin, check the
link:{neo4j-docs-base-uri}/graph-data-science/current/installation/supported-neo4j-versions[Neo4j Graph Data Science Library Manual -> Supported Neo4j versions] to find your matching GDS library version and download it separately."

Thanks for the documentation updates.

The preview documentation has now been torn down - reopening this PR will republish it.
