Running Ollama

Run this in your favorite terminal

To view the list of models installed

ollama list

To run the selected model

ollama run llama3.2

Running the model using Postman

read

To send a Postman request to an Ollama API server, follow these steps:


1️⃣ Start the Ollama Server

First, ensure the Ollama server is running. You can start it with:

ollama serve

By default, it runs on http://localhost:11434.


2️⃣ Postman API Request to Ollama

Use the following POST request in Postman:

🔹 Generate a Chat Completion (Streaming Response)

  • Method: POST
  • URL: http://localhost:11434/api/generate
  • Headers:
    • Content-Type: application/json
  • Body (raw, JSON format):
{
  "model": "mistral",
  "prompt": "What is the capital of France?",
  "stream": false
}
  • Response Example:
{
  "response": "The capital of France is Paris.",
  "model": "mistral",
  "done": true
}

🔹 List Available Models

  • Method: GET
  • URL: http://localhost:11434/api/tags

📌 Response Example:

{
  "models": [
    {
      "name": "mistral",
      "digest": "sha256:abc123...",
      "modified_at": "2024-03-01T12:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

🔹 Pull a New Model

To download and use a new model, such as LLaMA 3:

  • Method: POST
  • URL: http://localhost:11434/api/pull
  • Body:
{
  "name": "llama3"
}

📌 Response:

{
  "status": "success"
}

🔹 Run a Model with System Messages

For better control, you can add system messages:

  • Method: POST
  • URL: http://localhost:11434/api/generate
  • Body:
{
  "model": "mistral",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "system",
      "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
    },
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "What are the benefits of AI?"
    }
  ]
}

📌 Response:

{
  "response": "AI offers benefits like automation, efficiency, and scalability.",
  "done": true
}

📌 Notes

  • Replace "mistral" with any model available (e.g., "llama3", "gemma", "mixtral").
  • Set "stream": true for streaming responses.
  • Ensure Ollama is running before sending requests.
