How to install faiss on Windows Pycharm


I want to install Faiss on my project by Pycharm but I receive the error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement faiss (from versions: )

No matching distribution found for faiss.


Solution

  • The faiss package on PyPi is, according to the description, an Unofficial prebuilt binary for Linux and MacOS. It seems that there are actually multiple unofficial packages for this on PyPi, a few are mentioned in this GitHub issue.

    You can find the official installation instructions for Faiss here.
