# Installation Guide
This guide covers installation of Ruvector for all supported platforms: Rust, Node.js, WASM/Browser, and CLI.
## Prerequisites
### Rust
- **Rust 1.77+** (latest stable recommended)
- **Cargo** (included with Rust)
Install Rust from [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs/):
```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
```
### Node.js
- **Node.js 16+** (v18 or v20 recommended)
- **npm** or **yarn**
Download from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/)
### Browser (WASM)
- Modern browser with WebAssembly support
- Chrome 91+, Firefox 89+, Safari 15+, Edge 91+
## Installation
### 1. Rust Library
#### Add to Cargo.toml
```toml
[dependencies]
ruvector-core = "0.1.0"
```
#### Build with optimizations
```bash
# Standard build
cargo build --release
# With SIMD optimizations (recommended)
RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo build --release
# For specific CPU features
RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=+avx2,+fma" cargo build --release
```
#### Optional features
```toml
[dependencies]
ruvector-core = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["agenticdb", "advanced"] }
```
Available features:
- `agenticdb`: AgenticDB API compatibility (enabled by default)
- `advanced`: Advanced features (product quantization, hybrid search)
- `simd`: SIMD intrinsics (enabled by default on x86_64)
### 2. Node.js Package
#### NPM
```bash
npm install ruvector
```
#### Yarn
```bash
yarn add ruvector
```
#### pnpm
```bash
pnpm add ruvector
```
#### Verify installation
```javascript
const { VectorDB } = require('ruvector');
console.log('Ruvector loaded successfully!');
```
#### Platform-specific binaries
Ruvector uses NAPI-RS for native bindings. Pre-built binaries are available for:
- **Linux**: x64, arm64 (glibc 2.17+)
- **macOS**: x64 (10.13+), arm64 (11.0+)
- **Windows**: x64, arm64
If no pre-built binary is available, it will compile from source (requires Rust).
### 3. Browser (WASM)
#### NPM package
```bash
npm install ruvector-wasm
```
#### Basic usage
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Ruvector WASM Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="module">
import init, { VectorDB } from './node_modules/ruvector-wasm/ruvector_wasm.js';
async function main() {
await init();
const db = new VectorDB(128); // 128 dimensions
const id = db.insert(new Float32Array(128).fill(0.1), null);
console.log('Inserted:', id);
const results = db.search(new Float32Array(128).fill(0.1), 10);
console.log('Results:', results);
}
main();
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
#### SIMD detection
```javascript
import { simd } from 'wasm-feature-detect';
const module = await simd()
? import('ruvector-wasm/ruvector_simd.wasm')
: import('ruvector-wasm/ruvector.wasm');
```
#### Web Workers for parallelism
```javascript
// main.js
const workers = [];
const numWorkers = navigator.hardwareConcurrency || 4;
for (let i = 0; i < numWorkers; i++) {
workers.push(new Worker('worker.js'));
}
// worker.js
importScripts('./ruvector_wasm.js');
self.onmessage = async (e) => {
const { action, data } = e.data;
const db = new VectorDB(128);
if (action === 'search') {
const results = db.search(data.query, data.k);
self.postMessage({ results });
}
};
```
### 4. CLI Tool
#### Install from crates.io
```bash
cargo install ruvector-cli
```
#### Build from source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ruvnet/ruvector.git
cd ruvector
cargo install --path crates/ruvector-cli
```
#### Verify installation
```bash
ruvector --version
# Output: ruvector 0.1.0
```
#### Shell completion
```bash
# Bash
ruvector completions bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/ruvector
# Zsh
ruvector completions zsh > /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_ruvector
# Fish
ruvector completions fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/ruvector.fish
```
## Platform-Specific Notes
### Linux
#### Dependencies
```bash
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install build-essential
# RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
# Arch
sudo pacman -S base-devel
```
#### Permissions
Ensure write access to database directory:
```bash
chmod 755 ./data
```
### macOS
#### Xcode Command Line Tools
```bash
xcode-select --install
```
#### Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)
NAPI-RS provides native arm64 binaries. For Rust, ensure you're using the correct toolchain:
```bash
rustup target add aarch64-apple-darwin
```
### Windows
#### Visual Studio Build Tools
Download from [visualstudio.microsoft.com](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)
Install "Desktop development with C++"
#### Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
Alternatively, use WSL2:
```bash
wsl --install
```
Then follow Linux instructions.
## Docker

```
## Troubleshooting
### Compilation Errors
**Error**: `error: linking with cc failed`

# Install build tools (see Platform-Specific Notes above)
```
**Error**: `error: failed to run custom build command for napi`
```bash
# Install Node.js and ensure it's in PATH
which node
npm --version
```
### Runtime Errors
**Error**: `cannot load native addon`
```bash
# Rebuild from source
npm rebuild ruvector
```
**Error**: `SIGSEGV` or segmentation fault
```bash
# Disable SIMD optimizations
export RUVECTOR_DISABLE_SIMD=1
```
### Performance Issues
**Slow queries**
```bash
# Enable SIMD optimizations
export RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native"
cargo build --release
```
**High memory usage**
```bash
# Enable quantization (see Advanced Features guide)
```
