# Ollama for macOS and Windows

## Download

- [macOS](https://github.com/ollama/app/releases/download/latest/Ollama.dmg)
- [Windows](https://github.com/ollama/app/releases/download/latest/OllamaSetup.exe)

## Development

### Desktop App

```bash
go generate ./... &&
go run ./cmd/app
```

### UI Development

#### Setup

Install required tools:

```bash
go install github.com/tkrajina/typescriptify-golang-structs/tscriptify@latest
```

#### Develop UI (Development Mode)

1. Start the React development server (with hot-reload):

```bash
cd ui/app
npm install
npm run dev
```

2. In a separate terminal, run the Ollama app with the `-dev` flag:

```bash
go generate ./... &&
OLLAMA_DEBUG=1 go run ./cmd/app -dev
```

The `-dev` flag enables:

- Loading the UI from the Vite dev server at http://localhost:5173
- Fixed UI server port at http://127.0.0.1:3001 for API requests
- CORS headers for cross-origin requests
- Hot-reload support for UI development

If you want to manually build v11+ support, you can download the older Xcode [here](https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/Developer_Tools/Xcode_14.1/Xcode_14.1.xip), extract, then `mv ./Xcode.app /Applications/Xcode_14.1.0.app` then activate with:

```
export CGO_CFLAGS=-mmacosx-version-min=12.0
export CGO_CXXFLAGS=-mmacosx-version-min=12.0
export CGO_LDFLAGS=-mmacosx-version-min=12.0
export SDKROOT=/Applications/Xcode_14.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk
export DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode_14.1.0.app/Contents/Developer
