Merged: Yes


ollama makes it wonderfully easy to build desktop apps that rely on local LLMs with its js and python libraries.

however, the user's system needs to have ollama already installed for the desktop app to use the libraries and make calls to the LLMs. Making users install ollama client separately isn't good UX tbh. thus, "headless-ollama"

this repo has pre-run scripts which automatically utilises node runtime to check for the host OS and installs the ollama client and the models needed by the desktop app before the server starts.

this is really helpful while building desktop apps where you want everything to be local and self contained within the system.
