Ollama

Ollama is one of the tools that allows you to run large language models locally. There are other tools like Unsloth Studio, llama.cpp, LM Studio, but Ollama is the simplest.

Installation 
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

By default, running the installation script will attempt to create a user ollama and systemd unit file to run the service when the machine starts.
