Chromadb specifically works on python version 3.10.10. Saw on other github issues that it does not work with other python versions. | |
to install chromadb, write the following command: | |
pip install chromadb | |
if you are getting the following build error: | |
Building wheels for collected packages: chroma-hnswlib | |
Building wheel for chroma-hnswlib (pyproject.toml) ... error | |
error: subprocess-exited-with-error | |
× Building wheel for chroma-hnswlib (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully. | |

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ | |

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. | |
ERROR: Failed building wheel for chroma-hnswlib | |
Failed to build chroma-hnswlib | |
ERROR: Could not build wheels for chroma-hnswlib, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects | |

Then do the following: | |

2. Once the installation is complete, close your terminal where you were installing the module and open a new terminal and run the command again. | |
3. It will work. |
