Neo4j Error: Could not find or load main class org.neo4j.shell.StartClient

I am facing a similar issue on my Mac as given in Error: Could not find or load main class org.neo4j.shell.StartClient.

I initially installed Neo4j using .dmg installer, and it can open Neo4j community edition in browser. But when I click on the Options>Command Prompt, it opens a Terminal window:

xyz$ /Applications/Neo4j \Community\Edition.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/openNeoTerminal.sh ; exit;
Neo4j Command Prompt

This window is configured with Neo4j on the path.

Available commands:
neo4j-shell
neo4j-import
bash-3.2$ neo4j-shell
Error: Could not find or load main class org.neo4j.shell.StartClient
bash-3.2$

I also downloaded the latest neo4j-2.2.7.tar.gz, unzipped it, created a folder called neo4j under my main directory. I am not sure what is needed further.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Unfortunately this is a bug with the packaging, in Neo4j 2.3.x.

Please use the tgz distribution, in the extracted folder you find bin/neo4j-import.

Please refer to the Neo4j - manual, on how to use it:
