Hi @1234igor, thanks for creating an issue! Since Ollama is a long running api server (similar to docker and some other tools), it starts in the background so you can run ollama without first thinking to have to start the app. It's surprisingly common to forget to start it before running CLI commands. (Also note #47 which will help this issue).

That may not be your cup of tea (totally understand) – you can disable it in the system preferences, or if you prefer to opt out of the macOS app for now altogether, it's easy to build the binary. Binaries are also published with every release – note: the next version will include a signed macOS universal binary!

This should be an opt-in setting, as the user should have control of their computer and apps. Yes, I can remove it from Settings' Login items, but every time I run Ollama it adds itself back in to that list.
