Where Neo4j keeps its logs

Neo4j logs to /var/log/neo4j/ on Linux. 2 other Linux log locations are recorded below, including paths for deb/rpm and tarball.

Paths are printed exactly as Neo4j writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
