# Pinecone This page covers how to use the Pinecone ecosystem within LangChain. It is broken into two parts: installation and setup, and then references to specific Pinecone wrappers. ## Installation and Setup - Install the Python SDK with `pip install pinecone-client` ## Wrappers ### VectorStore There exists a wrapper around Pinecone indexes, allowing you to use it as a vectorstore, whether for semantic search or example selection. To import this vectorstore: ```python from langchain.vectorstores import Pinecone ``` For a more detailed walkthrough of the Pinecone wrapper, see [this notebook](../modules/indexes/vectorstore_examples/pinecone.ipynb)
