Installation

Embex is available for Python and Node.js. It requires no external services to get started (using embedded LanceDB), but works with Qdrant, Chroma, Weaviate, and more.

Python

Install the embex package from PyPI.

pip install embex lancedb sentence-transformers

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• pip

Node.js

Install the @bridgerust/embex package from npm.

npm install @bridgerust/embex lancedb

Docker Support

If you plan to use providers like Qdrant, Weaviate, or PgVector, you’ll need to run them. We provide a docker-compose setup for convenience.

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.8"
services:
  qdrant:
    image: qdrant/qdrant:latest
    ports:
      - "6333:6333"
