  # docker compose -f docker-compose-ollama.yml up --build  # Only if using Ollama. You need to run `ollama run llama2` first.
  

  If you have a Mac, go to Docker Desktop > Settings > General and check that the “file sharing implementation” is set to VirtioFS.

  If you are a developer, you can run the project in development mode with the following command: docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build
