Introduction
Here we go again. This time, this time I’ll show you how can install Mistral AI on your Linux machine. Stay with me, it takes only a couple of moments.
Let’s go!
Install Ollama on Linux
We already talked about it here. But, in case you haven’t read that article…
Ollama is a platform that allows you to run and manage LLMs (Large Language Models) on your machine.
What is LLM, Marko?
To put it in super simple terms, LLM is an AI system trained on a huge amount of data and is used to understand and assist humans in writing texts, code, and much more.
Let’s install it!
Open your terminal and run this command:
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
Validate Ollama installation
OK, let’s check if the installation went well.
Run the following command:
ollama -v
Download and run Mistral AI locally
Let’s do this third and final step – install the Mistral AI model.
Run this command:
ollama run mistral
That’s a wrap. Super simple, right?!
A few things to keep in mind.
Now that you have Ollama installed on your machine, you can try other models as well.
On the Ollama official website, there is a huge number of models you can try out.
Give this a chance, and let me know how it goes.
Happy coding!
