Ask HN: Strategy for "bundling" Ollama with a desktop app?
3 points by bschmidt1 on April 17, 2024 | hide | past | favorite
I want to publish a desktop app that relies on the locally running Ollama I installed with their `install.sh`.

Say it's an Electron app - is this as simple as having a start script in the Electron Node side install Ollama's `install.sh` and then start the Ollama service each time the Electron app starts?

Will I run into OS-level issues doing this? (and is there a better way?)

Any advice from someone who's done it for an app is very much appreciated! Thanks.
