Installation of Milvus database into our local system on windows operating system

Steps involved:

1. Installation of Docker into your local desktop
2. Keep the docker application running
3. create a venv-virtual environment(not mandatory but for best practices) in the directory where you want to install Milvus database
4. open command line in the above directory
5. activate virtual environment and execute this command

“wget https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/releases/download/v2.4.1/milvus-standalone-docker-compose.yml -O docker-compose.yml"

6. after that command is executed, run this script if you are on windows operating system “docker compose up -d”

7. This command will run the docker containers for Milvus database

8. To check if Milvus is properly installed or not, use the below command

docker compose ps

Now we can have a GUI for the database which is milvus-attu:

1. install this file “https://github.com/zilliztech/attu/releases/download/v2.0.1/attu-Setup-2.0.1.exe” and then execute it for installtion
2. and then connect with this port “127.0.0.1:19530” and we will have a GUI connected for ATTU, a vector DB GUI representation
