chroma: [Install issue]: Could not build wheels

What happened?

Wile trying to use pip install (and also when cloning from git repository link) I’m getting an error which mentions not being able to build wheels for hnswlib … and much more. When I try to pip install hnswlib first, it gets a similar error - both pointing to some issue with C++. I’m able to pip install other packets such as openai and pybrot.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled all of my VisualStudio and Python software, restarted the PC several times, read numerous posts on Stack, even asked ChatGPT and followed all of the dozens of steps there. I’m not sure what I have royally messed up. I am new to this but I was diligent in trying to resolve the issue before posting here. Help is greatly appreciated.

Versions

Python 3.11.4, Windows 11, as much info as I can find on my C++ stuff is attached. VS installs

@ido777 That is good feedback, you can pin the git clone to our release branches though.

Can you please try our recommended path for running the docker container which is to clone the repo and run the compose, instead of using the built image.

git clone https://github.com/chroma-core/chroma.git cd chroma docker-compose up -d --build
