Experimental support for MacOS was added in version 3.0.0. Please note this version has some errors and might not work as expected.

Installation

  1. Download the MacOS executable from the releases page under assets.
  2. Open Finder and drag the file into the apps folder.
  3. Alpaca should now be available to use directly from the app gallery.

Installing Ollama

I recommend installing Ollama using brew.

1. Install Brew

Open a terminal and paste this command, this will install brew in your system, with this you can install packages directly from the terminal.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Install Ollama

To install Ollama simply use the following command.

brew install ollama

Now that Ollama has been installed you can close the terminal and forget about it, just reopen Alpaca and make sure it's using the 'integrated instance' this means Alpaca will manage the Ollama instance directly.
