+# How to Use Local / Remote Ollama with PowerShell 7 on Windows
+
+This guide shows you how to set up a custom PowerShell command to interact with your Ollama server from the Windows console.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Install PowerShell 7
+
+1. Go to [PowerShell GitHub Releases](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases).
+2. Download the latest MSI installer for Windows (e.g., PowerShell-7.x.x-win-x64.msi).
+3. Run the installer and follow the prompts.
+4. Start PowerShell 7 by typing `pwsh` in your Start menu or terminal.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Set Up Your PowerShell Profile
+
+1. Open PowerShell 7 (`pwsh`).
+2. Run:
+   ```
+   notepad $PROFILE
+   ```
+   If prompted, create the file.
+3. Paste the following function into the file: (replace model and uri with custom parameters)
+
+   ```powershell
+   function ollama {
+       param(
+           [Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)]
+           $PromptArgs
+       )
+       $prompt = $PromptArgs -join " "
+       $body = @{ model = "llama3.2"; prompt = $prompt } | ConvertTo-Json
+       $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://192.168.1.69:7869/api/generate" -Method POST -Body $body -ContentType "application/json"
+       $lines = $response -split "`n"
+       $answer = ($lines | ForEach-Object {
+           try { ($_.Trim() | ConvertFrom-Json).response } catch {}
+       }) -join ""
+       Write-Host $answer
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. Save and close Notepad.
+5. Reload your profile by running:
+   ```
+   . $PROFILE
+   ```
+
+**Note**
+When you define a function (like ollama) in your profile, you can call it by typing its name in the console—this is known as a function-based command in PowerShell.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Use Your Custom Command (Or alias)
+
+- In PowerShell 7, type:
+  ```
+  ollama Your prompt here
+  ```
+- Example:
+  ```
+  ollama What is the capital of France?
+  ```
+- You’ll see the combined response from your Ollama server.
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- Make sure your Ollama server is running and accessible at the IP and port you specified.
+- You can change the model name or server address in the function as needed.
+- This command only sends text prompts and returns text responses.
