Issue with required package chromadb for osx-arm64

[m-balcewicz]

Hi, I do have some issues installing pip install chromadb. I am using a osx-arm64 and get the following error:

Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.

I tried installing it for python 3.8, 3.10, and 3.11. Can you please help me out?

so fyi, you don't need chromadb. It's just for the persist functionality, which caches the vectorstore.
Just remove the codepath where PERSIST == True.

(I'm on osx silicon so I can't repro this)

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I am also working on osx silicon. I get a similar error installing pip install unstructured.

Trying to find the main error, it seems to be the path to clang? However, I have installed a recent version.

>> clang --version

Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.0.29.1)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin22.5.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

This ist the error I get trying installing unstructured:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Maybe you have another idea to solve my confusion.

Setting this helped on macOS in my case:

Thank you, @aartajew. Obviously, my env was not set up correctly. Your line of code solved it immediately.

Additionally, the following solution worked out for me:

1. conda install -c conda-forge lxml
   I had difficulties installing pip install unstructured as you can see in my error message above, the lxml package was mainly the reason.
2. pip install unstructured
   Worked out any further issues now.
3. After the first test, I received the following error message: partition_pdf is not available. Install the pdf dependencies with pip install "unstructured[pdf]".
   So, installing the missing package solved any issues: pip install "unstructured[pdf]"
4. As shown in the readme file, a quick test worked out fine.
