• Purpose of Olama:
  • Designed as a cornerstone for AI applications.
  • Simplifies running AI models on local machines.
  • Usable by non-experts through a text UI or other tools.
• Configuration Needs:
  • Adjustments may be required for server settings (e.g., IP address, web origins).
  • Disable server pruning for slow networks or set a proxy.
• Setting Environment Variables:
  • Common issue: Incorrectly setting environment variables.
  • Variables must be set for the AMA server, not the default shell.
• Linux Systems:
  • Use systemctl edit .service to set environment variables.
  • Example: AMA_HOST=0.0.0.0.
• Mac Systems:
  • Previous method: Stop server, set variable in terminal, keep terminal running.
  • New method: Use launchctl setenv and restart the server.
  • Benefits: Seamless updates, logs in AMA logs, no need for open terminal.
• Conclusion:
  • The updated process is more convenient.
