Installation
Using brew for MacOS:
brew tap ggozad/formulas
brew install ggozad/formulas/oterm
Using pip:
pip install oterm
Using
In order to use oterm you will need to have the Ollama server running. By default it expects to find the Ollama API running on http://localhost:11434/api. If you are running Ollama inside docker or on a different host/port, use the OLLAMA_URL environment variable to customize the API url. Setting OTERM_VERIFY_SSL to False will disable SSL verification.
OLLAMA_URL=http://host:port/api
oterm will not (yet) pull models for you, please use ollama to do that. All the models you have pulled or created will be available to oterm.
Customizing models
When creating a new chat, you may not only select the model, but also customize the template as well as the system instruction to pass to the model.
