Unable to install in Windows

[ramkumarkb]

Hi,

Thank you for this wonderful OS project !

When I tried to install it in Windows -
pip install embedding-atlas I get the following error -

RuntimeError: uvloop does not support Windows at the moment

Is there a workaround possible for Windows? (e.g. drop to using default asyncio instead of uvloop which seems to be available only on Linux/macOS)

Thank you very much !

Good catch. Happy to accept a pull request if it doesn't negatively affect performance.

Thanks for pointing out the issue! While we are looking into it, you can try installing Embedding Atlas from a WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) environment (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install). Newer WSL version should support NVIDIA GPUs (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ai/directml/gpu-cuda-in-wsl)

@donghaoren - Yes, i managed to install it in WSL - however, I noticed that it installed a number of nvidia packages when I do not have a GPU... I was trying to use the atlas to compare the embeddings from Qwen3 text embeddings models (as compared to ones from openai) - given that they are consistently on top of the MTEB leaderboard

Thank you!
