You can download pre-built desktop apps for Windows and Linux in the Releases pane if you don't want to clone the source.
It's also quite easy to run from source if you have uv installed. Simply clone the source code and run:
uv run main.pyuv will automatically create a local virtual environment and pull down needed dependencies.
If you have a server where you'd like to host the app for multiple users to access over the web, it's as simple as:
FLET_FORCE_WEB_SERVER=true FLET_SERVER_PORT=8008 uv run main.pyThen the app will be available on http://myserver:8008/ . Ensure you have ollama running wherever you are running this from. A raspberry pi or equivalent works well if you are routing requests to Ollama Cloud and want to make this available to devices in your local network.
