[Install issue]: ChromaDB Orjson Issue

[95]

What happened?

Installing ChromaDB on a Google Colab notebook like I have done many times before, and ran into this error. Not sure what caused it, I tried uninstalling and installing again, to no avail.

Versions

chromadb-0.5.5

@95, this is interesting. I've just tried to install the latest Chroma (0.5.5):

%pip install chromadb

on a clean new Colab notebook, and it did not raise any error. Can you try doing the same? I'd suspect some cached dependencies may be causing this issue.

[tazarov]

this is the same error as #2648, seems that the project has released missing wheels now with https://github.com/ijl/orjson/issues/509. Can you retest?
