## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- [Ollama](https://ollama.com/download/). Windows support coming soon.
|
|
- To use a local model, [download it](/quickstart#run-a-model-locally) before setup.
|
|
- To use a cloud model, sign in to Ollama and enable cloud models. Some models require a [paid plan](https://ollama.com/pricing).
|
|
|
|
If Claude is not installed, Ollama offers to download it during setup.
|
|
|
|
## Set up Claude
|
|
|
|
1. Open Ollama and select **Apps**.
|
|
2. Connect **Claude**.
|
|
3. Follow the setup prompts to install Claude if needed and restart it when prompted.
|
|
|
|
## Switch models
|
|
|
|
Open Ollama **Settings → Apps**. Choose your models, then select **Restart Claude**. You can use the same model for more than one option.
|
|
|
|
## Supported features
|
|
|
|
- **Subagents** - Split larger tasks across agents
|
|
- **Web search** - Supported by default through [Ollama's web search](/capabilities/web-search)
|
|
- **Cowork** - Complete difficult tasks with Claude Cowork
|
|
- **Auto mode** - Let the agent decide when to ask before making changes
|
|
|
|
## Disconnect Claude
|
|
|
|
Open Ollama **Apps** and disconnect Claude. Ollama restores Claude's previous settings. Restart Claude when prompted.
|
|
|
|
You can also restore Claude from the terminal:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
ollama launch claude-desktop --restore
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Quitting Ollama while Claude is connected also restores Claude's usual configuration.
