### Docker

The official [Ollama Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/ollama/ollama) `ollama/ollama` is available on Docker Hub.

### Libraries

- [ollama-python](https://github.com/ollama/ollama-python)
- [ollama-js](https://github.com/ollama/ollama-js)

### Community

- [Discord](https://discord.gg/ollama)
- [𝕏 (Twitter)](https://x.com/ollama)
- [Reddit](https://reddit.com/r/ollama)

## Get started

```
ollama
```

You'll be prompted to run a model or connect Ollama to your existing agents or applications such as `Claude Code`, `OpenClaw`, `OpenCode` , `Codex`, `Copilot`,  and more.

### Coding

To launch a specific integration:

```
ollama launch claude
```

Supported integrations include [Claude Code](https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/claude-code), [Codex](https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/codex), [Copilot CLI](https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/copilot-cli), [Droid](https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/droid), and [OpenCode](https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/opencode).

### AI assistant

Use [OpenClaw](https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/openclaw) to turn Ollama into a personal AI assistant across WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, and more:

```
ollama launch openclaw
```

### Chat with a model

Run and chat with [Gemma 3](https://ollama.com/library/gemma3):

```
ollama run gemma3
```

See [ollama.com/library](https://ollama.com/library) for the full list.

See the [quickstart guide](https://docs.ollama.com/quickstart) for more details.

## REST API

Ollama has a REST API for running and managing models.

```
curl http://localhost:11434/api/chat -d '{
  "model": "gemma3",
  "messages": [{
    "role": "user",
    "content": "Why is the sky blue?"
  }],
  "stream": false
}'
```

See the [API documentation](https://docs.ollama.com/api) for all endpoints.

### Python

```
pip install ollama
```

```python
from ollama import chat

response = chat(model='gemma3', messages=[
  {
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Why is the sky blue?',
  },
])
print(response.message.content)
```

### JavaScript

```
npm i ollama
```

```javascript
import ollama from "ollama";

const response = await ollama.chat({
  model: "gemma3",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Why is the sky blue?" }],
});
console.log(response.message.content);
```
