What are you trying to do?

I recently installed Ollama on my Windows PC, by default it installs in c drive!
can you guys work on the standalone version of Ollama for the USB drive, so I can carry that USB anywhere and use it offline?

this thing with universalizing the AI, I have 512 GB of USB drive, but I cannot install it on my USB,

please this is the feature request from @sonareparth7!

How should we solve this?

...

What is the impact of not solving this?

...

Anything else?

before the installation, it should ask where to install
and it should also ask where to install those models!

let's universalize this project!

I'm hoping to do the same, did you hear any further or make progress on this?
