+# To create a minikube cluster
+
+To install minikube I followed See [these](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/) instructions.
+Therefore you need to:
+```
+curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64
+
+sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube
+
+minikube start
+```
+The startup will take a short time.
+
+# To create the namespace
+```
+kubectl apply -f git/neo4j5-on-kubernetes/minikube/minikube-namespace.yaml
+```
+Check with
+```
+kubectl get namespaces
+```
+
+# To create the persistent volume
+```
+kubectl apply -f git/neo4j5-on-kubernetes/minikube/minikube-persistentVolume.yaml
+```
+Check with
+```
+kubectl get pv
+```
+# To create the persistent volume claims
+```
+kubectl apply -f git/neo4j5-on-kubernetes/minikube/minikube-persistentVolumeClaim.yaml
+```
+Check with
+```
+kubectl get pvc --namespace neo4j-namespace
+```
+
+# Deploy neo4j version 4
+```
+kubectl apply -f git/neo4j5-on-kubernetes/neo4j/neo4j4-deployment.yaml 
+```
+Check with
+```
+kubectl --namespace neo4j-namespace get all
+```
+This may take a while.
+To debug the startup of the database pod:
+```
+kubectl --namespace neo4j-namespace logs neo4j-database-0
+```
+or
+```
+kubectl --namespace neo4j-namespace describe pod neo4j-database-0
+```
+
+# Create some data in the database
+Use the default login for neo4j version 4 (neo4j:neo4j).
+Open up the files NodeCreation.cypher and Relationship.cypher and copy/paste the statements to the webfrontend and executed it there.
+
+
+
+
+# To reset anything you did and start from scratch
+```
+minikube delete
+```
+
+
