INSTALL DOCKER DESKTOP
Open WebUI runs inside a lightweight container, which requires Docker to be installed on your Mac.
Go to the official Docker website and download Docker Desktop for Mac www.docker.com
Open Docker Desktop from your Applications folder. You may be prompted to enter your Mac's password to grant system permissions.
Verify: Wait until the whale icon in your menu bar turns green and says "Docker Desktop is running."
With Ollama and Docker already running on your Mac, open your terminal and run the following command to download and start the web interface:
