[Feature Request]: Provide a precompiled version of chroma-hnswlib

[Cohee1207]

Describe the problem

I maintain a project that has a high demand for ChromaDB's local installs.

Before ChromaDB switched to its own fork of hnswlib, I could advise my users who have problems installing C++ build tools to install hnswlib via conda-forge. Now installing ChromaDB locally requires having heavy tooling on their machine which may not be acceptable for all users who would like to use this software.

Describe the proposed solution

Provide a conda-forge package similar to the original hnswlib: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/hnswlib

Alternatives considered

Stick to using outdated versions of Chroma.

@levand @HammadB check this workflow for building multi-arch wheels - https://github.com/amikos-tech/chroma-hnswlib/actions/runs/5891849778

Having a similar situation where I cannot build the chroma-hnswlib dependency on our agents. It would be great to have this dependency published as a wheel :)

Getting very close here! 🎉

This was shipped in the last release!

Hi Team,
By any chance we can have precompiled wheels for Python 3.12 as well for windows?
Thanks.
