# 01 — Getting Started

In this section, you'll install Ollama, pull down your first AI model, and run a prompt. Then you'll turn off the internet and watch it still work.

## What You'll Do

1. **Install Ollama** — download, install, verify it's running
2. **Choose and download a model** — pick one that fits your machine
3. **Run your first prompt** — the fortune teller exercise
4. **The airplane mode test** — prove it works offline

This is the foundation for everything else in the course. Let's go.
