I installed ollama from the Aur but the model path you guys specified doesn't exist, anyone know where it is? Is see this as a big Problem for running custom models

Can you elaborate? It's unclear what issue your experience or what you mean by "the model path you guys specified doesn't exist".

Where are models stored?

macOS: ~/.ollama/models.
Linux: /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/models

But for me it's in ~/.ollama too on linux

In linux the models should be stored under /usr/share/ollama. The ~/.ollama directory in Linux is used for other things such as your key pair and other assets required to use ollama. It's also used for that in macOS, but also includes the models.

For custom models use a Modelfile and ollama create which will convert the model into a format that Ollama can use.

I think I have answered your question, so will go ahead and close the issue, but feel free to keep commenting.
