Graph Explorer is distributed as a Docker image. The image includes the Graph Explorer web application and a proxy server that handles connections to your graph database.
The fastest way to try Graph Explorer is with the Air Routes sample. It launches Graph Explorer and a Gremlin Server pre-loaded with sample data using Docker Compose — no database setup or AWS account required.
- Docker installed on your machine
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/aws/graph-explorer.git - Navigate to the sample directory and start the containers
cd graph-explorer/samples/air_routes docker compose up - Open the browser and navigate to: http://localhost:8080/explorer
See the samples directory for more examples.
