error: Error: Please install chromadb as a dependency with, e.g. `npm install -S chromadb`

First of all, I appreciate your dedication to this project, but there is a serious problem that needs to be solved in macOS. The installation process is smooth, but when entering http://localhost:3000/ in browser, no matter what questions are entered, after clicking the Enter key, this error message will appear at the bottom of the interface:

error: Error: Please install chromadb as a dependency with, e.g. npm install -S chromadb

Here are the full error codes in Terminal:

The installed node version:
node -v v18.17.1

The same error appears in several different macs, including Intel and Apple silicon chips.

I tried to install it according to the prompts, but to no avail. Any solution? Thanks
