I have downloaded and run ollama successfully on my Mac in the past, but when I try to run one of these commands, it doesn't work (connection refused). What am I doing wrong?
- mchiang 3y agoThis is usually because the Ollama server isn't running. To solve it either: - Start the Ollama app (which will run the Ollama server) - Open terminal: `ollama serve` to start the server. We'll fix this in the upcoming release
- gnicholas 3y agoAh, perfect, thanks!
- nottorp 3y agoIs there some kind of tutorial for installing these (and their dependencies) somewhere? One that assumes i can set up python modules and compile stuff but i have no idea about all these LLM libraries would be enough thank you.
- fprotthetarball 3y agoOllama is the best I have seen if you want to play around with LLMs. After installing the application and running it, you run "ollama run <model name>" and it handles everything and drops you into a chat with the LLM. There are no dependencies for you to manage -- just one application. Check out the README: https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama#readme https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama#readme
- gnicholas 3y agoOllama is pretty dead simple, with no dependencies to manage. I just didn’t realize I needed to open the app when using it via the terminal, and it sounds like even this wrinkle will be smoothed out soon. I’m a non-technical founder so if I can do it, pretty much and HNer should be able to do so!
