# vem
*v*im + s*em*antic search
runs a local vec db and embedding model and watches configured directories of your fs to reindex on change and provides an api for semantic search + telescope frontend
## setup
- chromadb
```
python -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r ./requirements.txt
```
- lm studio
- download an embedding model, eg `text-embedding-nomic-embed-text-v1.5-embedding` (./emb.ts)
- run headless https://lmstudio.ai/docs/app/api/headless
- node project
```
pnpm install
```
## nvim
with lazy.vim
```lua
{
"vem",
dir = "/users/devidw/desktop/code/vem",
dependencies = {
'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
},
config = function()
require("telescope").load_extension("vem")
vim.keymap.set("n", "v", function()
require("telescope").extensions.vem.search({
repo_path = "/Users/devidw/Desktop/code/vem",
config_path = "/Users/devidw/Desktop/code/vem/config.json",
})
end)
end
},
```
- hit control + space to search
- (why not enter? bc once results are there, enter is already reserved for opening them)
## run daemon
for configuration see ./config.ts
```
pnpm dev ./path/to/my/config.json
```
- starts the vec db
- maybe loads the emb model
- reindex all collections
- start fs watchers to re-embed
macos launch agent setup:
```
# first update vem.plist to point to your daemon script, then:
cp vem.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/gdn.wolf.vem.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/gdn.wolf.vem.plist
```
