Creator: Prompt Case
Ollama is a large language model platform that is very similar to ChatGPT in terms of usage. However, Ollama has several notable advantages.
1. Firstly, it is open-source and completely free, making it a worthy option for individuals and small organizations with limited budgets.
2. Ollama can operate completely offline, ensuring uninterrupted work even in environments without internet access.
3. Ollama runs entirely on your own computer, so our important data is not uploaded to the cloud, and there is no need to worry about privacy breaches.
Step 1: Install Ollama
Installing Ollama is straightforward. It provides versions for macOS, Linux, and Windows. You can visit its official website, click on “Download,” and then choose the appropriate version for your operating system.
After downloading, open it. Mac users can simply click “Next” and “Install” in the dialog box, and then click the “Finish” button. For Windows users, the installation process is the same as other software, just click the “Install” button in the lower right corner.
Step 2: Install Docker
After installation, we need an interface called Open WebUI. Open WebUI needs to run in the Docker environment. You can download and install the corresponding version from the Docker official website, and then start it. Then, visit the Open WebUI website and follow the instructions to install the Ollama interface.
First, log in to the Docker website and download the appropriate version.
