I. Deploying the model locally with Ollama (if already deployed, ignore this section)

Multiple versions for Windows, Linux, macOS are available:
Take Windows as an example, install it directly after downloading, the window will be closed automatically after completion, and then you can judge whether Ollama is started or not by the system tray icon:
Click on the "Models" button at the top left of the Ollama website and select DeepSeek-R1:
Go to this screen and click on the drop-down menu to select the appropriate version (the higher the number, the higher the video memory requirement):
The approximate correspondence between model version and video memory requirements:
We download the model for 14b, click here to copy the command: ollama run deepseek-r1:14b
Click on the window icon in the menu bar at the bottom of Windows, type "powershell" in "Search Applications, Settings, and Documents", and then click "Windows PowerShell":
In the pop-up window, paste the command you just copied: ollama run deepseek-r1:14b and enter to start the download.
When finished, the word "Send a message" appears, indicating success. You can close the window at this point.
Second, download page-assist plug-in
The plugin currently supports Chrome and Firefox better, and also Edge (manual installation required).

The first one that comes out is, click on it:
Select "Add to Firefox":

powershell -c "irm bun.sh/install.ps1 | iex"
git clone https://github.com/n4ze3m/page-assist.git

Select "Manage Extensions" in the pop-up window:
In this interface, click "Extensions" on the left, and click "Developer Mode" to turn it on, then an icon "Load Extension" appears on the right:
Click on it and find the chrome-mv3 subdirectory under the build directory you just created and click "Select Folder":
Then you have page-assist in your list of extensions, success.
III. Use of page-assist

One more weather report:
