Manual install instructions

The official Ollama Docker image ollama/ollama is available on Docker Hub.

• ollama-python
• ollama-js

To run and chat with Llama 3:

ollama run llama3

Ollama supports a list of models available on ollama.com/library

Here are some example models that can be downloaded:

Note: You should have at least 8 GB of RAM available to run the 7B models, 16 GB to run the 13B models, and 32 GB to run the 33B models.

Ollama supports importing GGUF models in the Modelfile:

1. Create a file named Modelfile, with a FROM instruction with the local filepath to the model you want to import.

   FROM ./vicuna-33b.Q4_0.gguf
   

2. Create the model in Ollama

   ollama create example -f Modelfile
   

3. Run the model

   ollama run example
   

See the guide on importing models for more information.

Models from the Ollama library can be customized with a prompt. For example, to customize the llama3 model:

ollama pull llama3

Create a Modelfile:

FROM llama3

# set the temperature to 1 [higher is more creative, lower is more coherent]
PARAMETER temperature 1

# set the system message
SYSTEM """
You are Mario from Super Mario Bros. Answer as Mario, the assistant, only.
"""

Next, create and run the model:

ollama create mario -f ./Modelfile
ollama run mario
>>> hi
Hello! It's your friend Mario.

For more examples, see the examples directory. For more information on working with a Modelfile, see the Modelfile documentation.

ollama create is used to create a model from a Modelfile.

ollama create mymodel -f ./Modelfile

ollama pull llama3

This command can also be used to update a local model. Only the diff will be pulled.

ollama rm llama3

ollama cp llama3 my-model

For multiline input, you can wrap text with """:

>>> """Hello,
... world!
... """
I'm a basic program that prints the famous "Hello, world!" message to the console.

>>> What's in this image? /Users/jmorgan/Desktop/smile.png
The image features a yellow smiley face, which is likely the central focus of the picture.

$ ollama run llama3 "Summarize this file: $(cat README.md)"
 Ollama is a lightweight, extensible framework for building and running language models on the local machine. It provides a simple API for creating, running, and managing models, as well as a library of pre-built models that can be easily used in a variety of applications.

ollama show llama3

ollama list

ollama serve is used when you want to start ollama without running the desktop application.

See the developer guide

Next, start the server:

./ollama serve

Finally, in a separate shell, run a model:

./ollama run llama3

Ollama has a REST API for running and managing models.

curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
  "model": "llama3",
  "prompt":"Why is the sky blue?"
}'

curl http://localhost:11434/api/chat -d '{
  "model": "llama3",
  "messages": [
    { "role": "user", "content": "why is the sky blue?" }
  ]
}'

See the API documentation for all endpoints.
