With a foundational understanding of AI Agents and the tools we’ll be using, along with ensuring your system meets the necessary prerequisites, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and prepare your computer. This chapter, which is a continuation of our module “How to build AI Agents for free?”, is dedicated to the practical, hands-on process of setting up the complete development environment that will empower you to build your own AI Agents for free. This is arguably the most crucial step, as a well-configured environment ensures a smooth and productive workflow throughout the rest of the module.
In the following sections, we will walk you through each essential installation and configuration, transforming your personal computer into a powerful AI agent development workstation.
We’ll begin by installing Ollama on your system, enabling you to run large language models locally. We’ll then proceed to the exciting step of installing various AI-LLM models using Ollama, which are the brains of our agents.
Next, we’ll guide you through the installation of Docker Desktop, which provides the robust containerization necessary for managing our tools efficiently.
Following that, we’ll delve into installing n8n on your PC, setting up the core automation platform for your agents.
Finally, we’ll cover any other minor tools and configurations that might be beneficial for a complete setup. By the end of this chapter, you’ll have all the necessary software up and running, ready to start crafting your first AI Agent.
Steps Involved:
- Installation of AI – LLM Models in your computer / Laptop using Ollama?
- Installing Docker Desktop in your PC
- How to install n8n in your PC?
