systemctl restart ollama

### Setting environment variables on Windows
On windows, Ollama inherits your user and system environment variables.
1. First Quit Ollama by clicking on it in the task bar
2. Edit system environment variables from the control panel
3. Edit or create New variable(s) for your user account for `OLLAMA_HOST`, `OLLAMA_MODELS`, etc.
4. Click OK/Apply to save
5. Run `ollama` from a new terminal window
## How can I expose Ollama on my network?
Ollama binds 127.0.0.1 port 11434 by default. Change the bind address with the `OLLAMA_HOST` environment variable.
