Originally assigned to: @dhiltgen on GitHub.

I tried default installation script in Alpine Linux (WSL) and though it was apparently installed, I couldn't use ollama command. Also, manual install guide needs alternative steps for non-systemd sytems.

The ollama binary needs glibc. This makes me sad, because I wanted to try it!

I was able to use ollama serve command, which seemingly work; after manually installing Ollama following beginning of manual install guide, performing basic configuration in Alpine system, and then installing gcompat compatibilty layer. While trying ollama run {model}, it is able to download models but unable to run them showing following error:
Error: llama runner process has terminated

@NikeshKhatiwada unfortunately I think you're going to be fighting an uphill battle to try to get all our dependencies working without glibc. I would encourage you to try to build the source tree from main, since we've revamped a lot of the build process since you tried. Maybe you can get it to build for CPU only mode.

Our pre-compiled binary wont be viable for a non-glibc system. I think we'd be open to community PRs to the build scripts if they're not complicated to enable building from source on a non-glibc system, but I'm going to close this ticket for now as I don't think it's something we plan to work on at this time.
