Backend Installation

Ollama

Ollama is the default backend installed by the platform builders.

backends/ollama/windows/ollama.exe
backends/ollama/macos/ollama
backends/ollama/linux/ollama
models/ollama/

Launchers set OLLAMA_MODELS so models remain inside the JackAILocal target.

llama.cpp

The Rust runtime can call a reachable OpenAI-compatible llama.cpp server at LLAMA_CPP_URL. This is an optional local chat fallback and is not required by the standard builder payload.

Voice

backends/whisper.cpp/<platform>/whisper-cli
backends/piper/<platform>/piper
models/whisper/ggml-base.bin
models/piper/en_US-libritts_r-medium.onnx

windows/Install-Voice.ps1 and unix/Install-Voice.sh download verified official assets. Linux and macOS build whisper.cpp from the pinned source tag before installing the model assets.
