This guide helps you deploy a local Large Language Model (LLM) server on your Apple MacBook (Intel CPU or Apple Silicon (M-series)) with a user-friendly chat interface. By running LLMs locally, you ensure data privacy, improve reliability with offline capabilities, and leverage cutting-edge tools for efficient AI workflows
I think most of us realize that macOS isn't a Linux OS, but what that also means is that instead of shipping with the GNU flavor of command line tools, it ships with the FreeBSD flavor. As such, writing shell scripts which can work across both platforms can sometimes be challenging.
Homebrew can be used to install the GNU versions of tools onto your Mac, but they are all prefixed with "g" by default.
All commands have been installed with the prefix "g". If you need to use these commands with their normal names, you can add a "gnubin" directory to your PATH from your bashrc.
