# Run any LLM locally on your Mac in less than 2 mins

I am just surprised that is is so simple. Plus it’s so elegant, I want to stand on my rooftop and shout. Anyway, here are the steps. BTW you only need 1min if you dont care about a fancy chat interface.

## Step 1:

Visit [https://ollama.com/](https://ollama.com/) click on download

## Step 2:

Click on Models on the above page, pick any model you want and run a cmd like this in your terminal
