Ollama Examples

A collection of basic examples for using Ollama with client-side JavaScript. The Express server proxies requests to Ollama. This could be done directly via p5.js but this is best to avoid CORS issues as well as a foundation for plugging in other services and cloud-based LLMs.

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Make sure Ollama is running on your machine (http://localhost:11434)

3. Start the server:

npm start

4. Open your browser to http://localhost:3000
