Make sure you have the latest version of Ollama installed before proceeding with the installation. You can find the latest version of Ollama at [https://ollama.ai/](https://ollama.ai/).
After installing Ollama, verify that Ollama is running by accessing the following link in your web browser: [http://127.0.0.1:11434/](http://127.0.0.1:11434/). Note that the port number may differ based on your system configuration.
**Important:** When using Docker to install Ollama Web UI, make sure to include the `-v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data` in your Docker command. This step is crucial as it ensures your database is properly mounted and prevents any loss of data.
If Ollama is hosted on your local machine and accessible at [http://127.0.0.1:11434/](http://127.0.0.1:11434/), run the following command:
For GPU enabled container (to enable this you must have your gpu driver for docker, it mostly works with nvidia so this is the official install guide: [nvidia-container-toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html))
Warning! A GPU-enabled installation has only been tested using linux and nvidia GPU, full functionalities are not guaranteed under Windows or Macos or using a different GPU
Note that both the above commands will use the latest production docker image in repository, to be able to build the latest local version you'll need to append the `--build` parameter, for example:
#### Using Alternative Methods (Kustomize or Helm)
See [INSTALLATION.md](/INSTALLATION.md) for information on how to install and/or join our [Ollama Web UI Discord community](https://discord.gg/5rJgQTnV4s).
While we strongly recommend using our convenient Docker container installation for optimal support, we understand that some situations may require a non-Docker setup, especially for development purposes. Please note that non-Docker installations are not officially supported, and you might need to troubleshoot on your own.
The Ollama Web UI consists of two primary components: the frontend and the backend (which serves as a reverse proxy, handling static frontend files, and additional features). Both need to be running concurrently for the development environment.
**Warning: Backend Dependency for Proper Functionality**
