- [Instructor] Welcome to our hands-on session on Vector Database Fundamentals. To get started, open up chapter five, open up the notebook that corresponds to 05_02.ipynb. As always, make sure the VN in the upper right hand corner is specified and set as the dot vn that we've created previously upon Codespaces startup. In our last video, we covered the theory behind vector databases. Now let's put that knowledge into practice with chroma an open source vector database that's perfect for learning these concepts. I know working with vector databases might seem complex at first, but I'll walk you through each concept step by step with practical examples. You don't need to memorize every line of code here. Focus instead on understanding the key operations and how they fit together. Let's first start by setting up our environment. The first thing we need to do is install the necessary packages, which I've already done behind the scenes for you. Instead, we're going to start with the…
