Issue #1 notes issues with installing on Windows due to faiss but faiss does support Mac. What error did you receive when installed?

[SeekPoint]

Running setup.py install for faiss-gpu ... error

[davidmezzetti]

Looking at the faiss-gpu repository it says:

Prerequisite

On macOS, install libomp via Homebrew to use the wheel.

brew install libomp

Source: https://github.com/kyamagu/faiss-wheels#prerequisite

Did you run this step? I can make an update to the README to note this but everything I read says faiss supports macOS. If the issue continues, I can help if you have a stacktrace or more information.

we must change setup.py on Mac like

ghSrc/txtai % git diff
diff --git a/setup.py b/setup.py
index f525721..5cf735b 100644
--- a/setup.py
+++ b/setup.py
