### Ollama App for Desktop

> [!WARNING]
> This is still an experimental feature! Some functions may not work as intended. If you come across any errors, please create a new [issue report](https://github.com/JHubi1/ollama-app/issues/new/choose).
There are a few things you might have to keep in mind if you're planning to use the experimental desktop support.

#### Windows

The Windows version is provided in the form of an installer, you can find it attached on the [latest release](https://github.com/JHubi1/ollama-app/releases). It's not signed, you might have to dismiss the Windows Defender screen by pressing "View More" > "Run Anyway".

Windows app data is kept at: `C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\JHubi1\Ollama App`

#### Linux

The Linux version is provided in the form of a portable executable, you can find it attached on the [latest release](https://github.com/JHubi1/ollama-app/releases). To start it, execute `./ollama` in the extracted folder.

If a message like `error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file` appears when you start the app, run the following commands:

- `sudo apt-get update`
- `sudo apt-get upgrade`
- `sudo apt-get install packagekit-gtk3-module`

Linux app data is kept at: `/home/[user]/.local/share/ollama`

### Setup

The most difficult part is setting up the host. To learn more visit the [wiki guide on how to do so](https://github.com/JHubi1/ollama-app/wiki/Getting-Started#setting-up-the-host). After setting up, you normally don't have to enter it again.
