## Build from source

**Prerequisites:** Go ≥ 1.25, Node ≥ 22, and a working C toolchain
(`build-essential` on Debian/Ubuntu, `xcode-select --install` on macOS,
MinGW-w64 / MSYS2 on Windows). Without `gcc` on `PATH`, CGO is silently
disabled and the build fails at the call site with a misleading
`undefined: sqlitevec.LoadInto` rather than a clear toolchain error,
because `internal/sqlitevec/load.go` is gated by `//go:build cgo`. Full
list: [`docs/getting-started.md`](docs/getting-started.md#prerequisites).
