RAG & vector DBschroma-core
chroma
The easiest vector database to start with: it runs inside your app process, stores documents and finds similar ones. Great for prototypes, with a client-server mode and a cloud.
Who it is for
For beginners and anyone quickly building a RAG prototype.
How to start
- Install:
pip install chromadb(for JavaScript:npm install chromadb). - Create a collection and add documents as in the API section example.
- Find similar ones with
collection.query, and use server mode if needed:chroma run --path /chroma_db_path.
Steps are taken from the README. Check the current version in the repository before running them.
