-Alternatively, you can use our standalone uberjar [pinecone-client-0.7.4-all.jar](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/pinecone/pinecone-client/0.7.4/pinecone-client-0.7.4-all.jar), which bundles the pinecone client and all dependencies together inside a single jar. You can include this on your classpath like any 3rd party JAR without having to obtain the *pinecone-client* dependencies separately.
