I am trying to load a vector database with embeddings created using HuggingFaceBgeEmbeddings, as follows:

embeddings = HuggingFaceBgeEmbeddings(
    model_name=model_name, model_kwargs=model_kwargs, encode_kwargs=encode_kwargs)

Then try to load into Chroma as follows

if not os.path.exists(db_directory):
        print(f"\n -- Creating a vector store {store_name} --")

        db = Chroma.from_documents(
            docs, embeddings, persist_directory=db_directory
        )

When I compile I get the following error message.

import chromadb
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chromadb'

At stackoverflow here suggested I try

pip install --upgrade chromadb

Unfortunately, this generated the following errors

  Building wheel for chroma-hnswlib (pyproject.toml) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error
  × Building wheel for chroma-hnswlib (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.

      [end of output]
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for chroma-hnswlib
Failed to build chroma-hnswlib

For this error, the following stackoverflow advised I download and install C++ build tools.

I downloaded

MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14.43-17.13)

I also downloaded Windows 11 SDK (10.0.22621.0) and then Windows 11 SDK (10.0.26100.0), but Langchain still can't find the Chroma module.

I am on Windows 11 Home 10.0.26100 Build 26100. I am using Langchain 0.3.19 and python 3.13.2.

I would be most grateful for any suggestions the community might have.
