[Feature Request]: Add a `conda` install option for `chromadb` #358

Closed sugatoray closed 11 months ago

sugatoray commented 1 year ago

A conda installation option from conda-forge channel could be very helpful for all downstream packages that depend on chromadb. I have already started working on this, to add chromadb to conda-forge.

Conda-forge PR:

The conda-forge PR has been merged, and other dependencies (such as duckdb) have also been added to conda-forge in the same PR. You will be able to install the library with conda as follows:

conda install -c conda-forge chromadb

:bulb: I will push a PR to update the docs once the package is available on conda-forge.

Good news! :tada:

So, chromadb is now available on conda-forge.

I have added @chroma-core as co-maintainer in the feedstock repo:

Check availability of chromadb on conda-forge channel.

@sugatoray cool! what is the process to distribute new releases when they are cut?

sugatoray commented 1 year ago
  1. New release on PyPI
  2. Update the recipe in the feedstock
    • there is a conda-forge bot, which often picks up new versions on PyPI and creates an automated PR to update the recipe in the feedstock.
    • so, unless the dependencies have changed you may not have to change much.
    • maintaining the recipe is easy; I can guide you and show you what I am doing when PyPI updates happen.

P.S. I am more active on LinkedIn. Perhaps it will be nice to stay in touch over there as well.

I hope that the client/server mode can minimize dependencies, avoid the need to install both Nvidia and Torch. Additionally, I request that a CPU installation mode be provided, which does not require the installation of Nvidia-related packages.

Thank you @sugatoray - looks like this is all working! Closing this out.
