Welcome to ShareAI! 🎉 Before you start sharing your computing power, let’s walk through the first-time setup process to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Step 1: Launching ShareAI #
Once installed, open ShareAI from:
✔️ The Start Menu
✔️ The Desktop Shortcut
On first launch, ShareAI will check your system for Ollama, which is required to process AI models efficiently.
Step 2: Installing Ollama (If Needed) #
👉 What is Ollama?
Ollama is a lightweight runtime that allows AI models to run locally on your device. ShareAI requires Ollama to function properly, as it handles the processing of AI tasks in the background.
💡 Automatic Installation
If ShareAI detects that Ollama is not installed, it will automatically download and install it for you.
- This process happens in the background, so no action is needed from you.
- The installation may take a few minutes, depending on your internet speed.
Step 3: Ensuring Ollama is Running #
After installation, ShareAI will automatically start Ollama to ensure everything is set up properly.
✅ If Ollama is already installed, ShareAI will check if it’s running and start it if needed.
❌ If Ollama is missing, ShareAI will install and launch it automatically.
Once this step is complete, ShareAI is ready to go! 🚀
Step 4: You’re All Set! #
Now that everything is installed and running:
🎯 ShareAI is fully operational.
🔄 Ollama will continue running in the background whenever ShareAI is open.
💡 If you ever need to manually restart Ollama, you can do so from ShareAI’s settings.
Troubleshooting #
If ShareAI is not working correctly after installation:
🔹 Check if Ollama is running → You can do this by opening Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and looking for the ollama.exe process.
🔹 Restart ShareAI → Sometimes, a quick restart resolves issues.
🔹 Reinstall Ollama manually → Download the latest version from Ollama’s official website if needed.
