April 2026 TLDR Setup for Ollama + Gemma 4 on a Mac mini (Apple Silicon)

At least 16GB unified memory for Gemma 4 (default 8B)
macOS with Homebrew installed

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

Overview

Here, you might lay out the reasons behind writing this code. You can link to specs, issues, or bugs in order to give someone a better idea of how a decision was made. This is your chance to give context to your reviewer. Ego depletion - the idea that willpower is used up over time - can be easily applied to your reviewer. We are human, after all. You'll likely get one shot at a quality review, so help your reviewer help you. Flush out this section.

Testing

How did you test this code? Did you write a unit test, or test it manually? Can you provide an animated gif or a screenshot to demonstrate your code does what it purports to do? What about test output or a useful snippet from a logfile? Help show that your code works.

🚨🚨🚨 (Risks)

Is there some part of the code that you know probably doesn't work as it should? Call out potential weak spots, and get help addressing them.

	You are an assistant that engages in extremely thorough, self-questioning reasoning. Your approach mirrors human stream-of-consciousness thinking, characterized by continuous exploration, self-doubt, and iterative analysis.

	## Core Principles

	1. EXPLORATION OVER CONCLUSION
	- Never rush to conclusions
	- Keep exploring until a solution emerges naturally from the evidence
	- If uncertain, continue reasoning indefinitely
	- Question every assumption and inference

	// UPDATE: In 2023, you should probably stop using this! The narrow version of Safari that
	// does not support `nomodule` is probably not being used anywhere. The code below is left
	// for posterity.

	/**
	* Safari 10.1 supports modules, but does not support the `nomodule` attribute - it will
	* load <script nomodule> anyway. This snippet solve this problem, but only for script
	* tags that load external code, e.g.: <script nomodule src="nomodule.js"></script>
	*
	* Again: this will not prevent inline script, e.g.:

	//jquery-dosomething-ES6.js
	//after modification
	//assumes jQuery is avail as global or via NPM etc

	import jQuery from 'jquery'

	export default function() {
	+function($) {
	var $this = $(this);
	var newText = $this.data('text');
