00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:01.133
<v Maximilian>Of course,</v>

2
00:00:01.133 --> 00:00:04.050
in order to use Ollama, you need to download

3
00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:07.980
and install it, and you can visit Ollama.com

4
00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:10.260
and then there you'll find a download button.

5
00:00:10.260 --> 00:00:13.140
And as you see it is available for Mac OS,

6
00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:14.910
Linux, and Windows.

7
00:00:14.910 --> 00:00:16.980
And just like LM Studio,

8
00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:19.950
you can use it on all these platforms to run all kinds

9
00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:22.110
of AI models on these platforms,

10
00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:24.960
no matter if you have high-end hardware

11
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.840
or if you are more on the lower-end.

12
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:30.810
So that's just the same as with LM Studio.

13
00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:34.920
But unlike LM Studio, as you'll see, Ollama does not come

14
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.880
with a graphical user interface, but I'll get back to that.

15
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.010
So let's download Ollama.

16
00:00:41.010 --> 00:00:44.610
Here, I'm on Mac OS, so I will download this version

17
00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:47.220
and once the download finished, you can walk

18
00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:48.780
through the installer,

19
00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:51.570
or on Mac OS, simply drag and drop

20
00:00:51.570 --> 00:00:54.060
the extracted Ollama application file

21
00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:56.520
into your Applications folder.

22
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.460
And then you can just start Ollama.

23
00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:01.260
Now as mentioned, it doesn't come

24
00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:03.660
with any graphical user interface,

25
00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:07.110
so the only indication I got here on Mac OS telling me

26
00:01:07.110 --> 00:01:10.350
that it's running is this indicator here

27
00:01:10.350 --> 00:01:12.540
in my status bar.

28
00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:16.770
On Windows, you should find Ollama in your system tray.

29
00:01:16.770 --> 00:01:20.130
And you can check whether Ollama was installed

30
00:01:20.130 --> 00:01:23.490
or not by opening your terminal,

31
00:01:23.490 --> 00:01:26.130
your command line, on your system,

32
00:01:26.130 --> 00:01:28.830
the one that's built into your system

33
00:01:28.830 --> 00:01:32.100
and then there you should run the Ollama command,

34
00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:34.110
and that's a command that should be available

35
00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:37.020
if Ollama was installed successfully.

36
00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:39.540
If that fails, if that command is not found,

37
00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:41.970
try restarting your terminal or system

38
00:01:41.970 --> 00:01:44.910
and of course, make sure that you did successfully walk

39
00:01:44.910 --> 00:01:46.980
through that Ollama installer

40
00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:50.400
or drag and drop it into the Applications folder on Mac OS

41
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.490
and that you did start Ollama after installing it

42
00:01:53.490 --> 00:01:55.290
and then try again.

43
00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:57.960
Ultimately, you should get some output like this,

44
00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:01.260
which proves that Ollama was installed successfully.

45
00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:03.480
So the next question, of course, is

46
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.243
how we can use Ollama on our system.
