hnswlib-node installation fails #8

Closed mayooear closed 1 year ago

mayooear commented 1 year ago

When yarn is run, hnswlib-node throws an error as below.

It appears the package is looking for a Visual Studio installation to use via node-gyp. I also tested installation of older versions and the same error occured.

Error:

@mayooear This is as expected, hnswlib has native bindings which require node-gyp to be installed. If that's not possible for you can try using one of the other vector stores in the library

Thanks. I noticed that, but I'm flagging it here as most people who simply clone this repo aren't aware of that.
