Original Pull Request: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/11925

State: open
Merged: No

This pull request updates the installation process in scripts/install.sh to improve reliability and prevent accidental removal of the existing installation if a download fails. The most important changes are grouped below:

Installation reliability improvements:

  • The bundle is now downloaded to a temporary file ($BUNDLE_TGZ) first, rather than streaming directly into tar, ensuring the download completes successfully before extraction.
  • Removal of the previous installation at $OLLAMA_INSTALL_DIR/lib/ollama is now performed only after a successful download, reducing risk of leaving the system in a broken state if the download fails.
  • Extraction of the downloaded bundle is now a separate step after download, rather than combined with the download command, making the process clearer and easier to debug.
