This section contains examples on how to install models manually with config files.

### Prerequisites

First clone LocalAI:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI

cd LocalAI
```

Setup the model you prefer from the examples below and then start LocalAI:

```bash
docker compose up -d --pull always
```

If LocalAI is already started, you can restart it with 

```bash
docker compose restart
```
