Clarification: Does this install ollama or just act as an API to an existing install? #24

Looks like an interesting project and thanks for the work on it.

I reviewed the source. It seems that this acts as an API and DOES NOT install ollama itself. I want to verify that this does NOT install Ollama.

I ask because I have a custom-compiled version of ollama for AMD GPUs (difficult to do). My custom-compiled ollama instance launches via systemd.

I would not want this API to overwrite any of my ollama files.

Is there any confirmation/clarification on this API?

This acts as an API to an existing (running) install.

The above comment is correct. This is only a Python wrapper for the API. It does not install nor run ollama itself
