To install it using apt-get you need to add a repository and, incredibly, the command for adding repositories was unintentionally left out the latest versions of Ubuntu, so we need to correct that first.

Ubuntu does not officially support Java 7 so this becomes at little bit of a headache. Neo4j is a Java application and in order to run the 2.0 version of the db server you need to have Java 7 installed before installing Neo4j.
