Hi! Getting the error below while trying to ingest documents for the first time. Could not find any other issue dealing with this.

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package '@pinecone-database/pinecone' imported from C:\Users\marco\gpt4-pdf-chatbot-langchain\utils\pinecone-client.ts

I am running the latest node version.

I'm glad to hear that you were able to resolve the issue. For future reference and for the benefit of others who might encounter the same problem, the error message "Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package '@pinecone-database/pinecone' imported from C:\Users\marco\gpt4-pdf-chatbot-langchain\utils\pinecone-client.ts" indicates that the '@pinecone-database/pinecone' package was not installed in your project.

This package is crucial for the gpt4-pdf-chatbot-langchain project as it is used to interact with the Pinecone database. It provides a client, PineconeClient, which is used to initialize and interact with the Pinecone database. The initPinecone function initializes the PineconeClient with the environment and API key, which are fetched from the environment variables PINECONE_ENVIRONMENT and PINECONE_API_KEY respectively. If these environment variables are not set, an error is thrown.

Here is the supporting code:

import { PineconeClient } from '@pinecone-database/pinecone';

async function initPinecone() {
  try {
    const pinecone = new PineconeClient();

    await pinecone.init({
      environment: process.env.PINECONE_ENVIRONMENT ?? '', //this is in the dashboard
      apiKey: process.env.PINECONE_API_KEY ?? '',
    });

    return pinecone;
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('error', error);
    throw new Error('Failed to initialize Pinecone Client');
  }
}

export const pinecone = await initPinecone();

You can find this code in the utils/pinecone-client.ts file in the repository.

If you encounter any other issues or have further questions, feel free to ask.
