It seems like you don't have some compliers installed in your system. Try installing C++ complier, add to the env. variable and try again.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. I followed the instructions provided in the link: Configuring VS Code for C++

To ensure everything was set up correctly, I verified my installation by running the following commands:

• gcc --version
• g++ --version
• gdb --version

Each command executed successfully, confirming that GCC, G++, and GDB are installed and properly configured

However, when I attempt to run pip install embedchain, I still encounter the same issue. Below is the error message I receive:

Could you please guide me on any additional steps I might be missing or specific configurations that might be required?

Well, its a different error now.

Error logs specifies that Python package chroma-hnswlib require Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater.
This link should help: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required

Download Microsoft C++ Build Tools --> Run exe --> Check C++ build tools --> check MSVC v142 and Windows 10 SDK --> wait for installation to finish

Make sure the "MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools" option is selected (or newer).
