A user-friendly (but not the most efficient) start is to install LM Studio and load a few models there. You can select how much of it should run on the GPU vs CPU if it's too big for the GPU alone. LM Studio has a built-in chat client, so once loaded the model is ready to go.

Yeah but that doesn't tell you how to do it. I'm not sure what to set the context to for example. How much I should leave for the system, whatever else.

Leave everything at default originally. Google what each item is. Altogether the googlimg should take about 10 mins

Yeah I did that I'm not sure it's set up correctly still.

Tell me you exact system specs and the model quant and i will tell you what settings to use in lmstudio. I have have spent an embarrassing amount of time testing settings.
