Froppy Pet Ollama Setup and Installer Help
Froppy needs local Ollama and qwen2.5:1.5b for generated pet chat. This page explains the expected setup path and the most common install problems.
Expected setup path
On a normal online install, Froppy setup downloads or reuses Ollama, waits for the local API, and pulls the fixed local model.
- Run the Windows installer.
- Keep the machine online while setup provisions Ollama.
- Wait for the qwen2.5:1.5b model pull to finish.
- Open Settings and check that local AI readiness is green.
If local AI is unavailable
Froppy should surface local AI setup errors clearly rather than silently pretending generated AI is ready.
- Confirm Ollama is running.
- Run `ollama list` and check for qwen2.5:1.5b.
- Restart Froppy after starting Ollama.
- Use the setup card retry or model install action when available.
Network and security warnings
Preview releases may still show Windows trust prompts until trusted signing is chosen. Slow or blocked networks can also interrupt the model download.
- Allow enough time for the model pull on slower connections.
- Retry setup if a firewall or proxy blocked the download.
- Record installer failures in release QA before broad sharing.

Common questions
What model does Froppy Pet install?

Can I install if I already have Ollama?
