Installation

🐍 Python and Pip​

To follow the steps in this guide, you'll need:

  1. Install Python. We support Python 3.11 to 3.13.
  2. Install pip - a Python package installer

🌴 Install CocoIndex​

pip install cocoindex

📦 Install Postgres​

You can skip this step if you already have a Postgres database with pgvector extension installed.

If you don't have a Postgres database:

  1. Install Docker Compose 🐳.
  2. Start a Postgres SQL database for cocoindex using our docker compose config:
docker compose -f <(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cocoindex-io/cocoindex/refs/heads/main/dev/postgres.yaml) up -d

🎉 All set!​

You can now start using CocoIndex.
