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.
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.
**Warning: Backend Dependency for Proper Functionality**
In order to ensure the seamless operation of our application, it is crucial to run both the backend and frontend components simultaneously. Serving only the frontend in isolation is not supported and may lead to unpredictable outcomes, rendering the application inoperable. Attempting to raise an issue when solely serving the frontend will not be addressed, as it falls outside the intended usage. To achieve optimal results, please strictly adhere to the specified steps outlined in this documentation. Utilize the frontend solely for building static files, and subsequently run the complete application with the provided backend commands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unsupported configurations, and we may not be able to provide assistance in such cases. Your cooperation in following the prescribed procedures is essential for a smooth user experience and effective issue resolution.
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 using `npm run dev`. Alternatively, you can set the `PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` during the build process to have the frontend connect directly to your Ollama instance or build the frontend as static files and serve them with the backend.
If you wish to run the backend for deployment, ensure that the frontend is built so that the backend can serve the frontend files along with the API route.
#### Setup Instructions
1.**Install Python Requirements:**
```sh
cd ./backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
2.**Run Python Backend:**
- Dev Mode with Hot Reloading:
```sh
sh dev.sh
```
- Deployment:
```sh
sh start.sh
```
Now, you should have the Ollama Web UI up and running at [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/). Feel free to explore the features and functionalities of Ollama! If you encounter any issues, please refer to the instructions above or reach out to the community for assistance.
