Hey @Sridatta0808, thanks for opening the issue. The way we install Ollama on linux has some file permissions issues, a fix is underway in #898.

A workaround in the meantime will be to move the Modelfile and gguf file to /usr/share/ollama so that the Ollama service user can access them.

You can also trying adding it to tmp dir or the dir where ollama can access it, it might just work out..

or give perms to Ollama using

usermod -aG ollama $USER
