# Ollama app ~ 1.4GB

@dhiltgen commented on GitHub (Apr 24, 2024):

Most of the storage space is used by the models, and the location we store those can be modified. See https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#where-are-models-stored for instructions.

As to being able to modify the install path at install time, that feature request is tracked via #2776
