-As another example, to start the container with Podman, you need to first create the `~/.llama` directory and then start Podman as follows (note that the OLLAMA_URL is slightly different too):
-
-```bash
-mkdir ~/.llama

-podman run -it \

+As another example, to start the container with Podman, you can do the same but replace `docker` at the start of the command with `podman` and replace `host.docker.internal` in the `OLLAMA_URL` with `host.containers.internal`.
 
 Configuration for this is available at `distributions/ollama/run.yaml`.
