Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern-Extras/issues/193

So I made a complete fresh install of ST and the extras and I am not able to get Vector Storage to run.
I must also say that I am a bit lost as to whether I might have installed something not correctly as there is no description for Vector Storage to install anything separately. I followed the documentation as best as I could.

So, the extras server is starting up, only with chromadb module enabled.

But once I enable it in ST, i get this error and ST crashes:

I restarted everything and checked for updates. I reinstalled chromadb manually, if that is even necessary, I don't know...
I found another, kind of similar issue here and followed the recommendations and deleted the almost empty Vector folder from my ST folder and such things... I manually cloned the all-mpnet-base-v2 repo to make sure, as there were only 3 files in the older and I am not sure if something was missing.

No idea what else I can do....

You can try downloading the embedding model manually and putting it to /cache/Xenova/all-mpnet-base-v2

See the third screenshot, that's what I did. I cloned the repo to be exact and copied the files into the folder manually. Is something missing?

Following this method, Vector Storage is now functioning properly.

Your screenshot is very cropped, I can't confirm that the files went exactly where intended

This is he path the files on the screenshot are located. I have downloaded everything manually again and I get the same result.

This is the result when selecting a character card in ST with VS active.

Ensure you're running Node x64, not the 32-bit version. And make sure your host system has enough memory.
Reinstall node and clear node_modules with npm cache and allow them to fetch using an appropriate bitness.

Dang, it was node... x86
Just threw the x64 over it and is working now thanks.
