Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/3908

What is the issue?

Previously I was able to run llama2 normally. But ever since llama3 came i am not able to run llama2 or llama3. On performing ollama run llama2 i get the following error.

Error: error starting the external llama server: exec: "ollama_llama_server": executable file not found in $PATH

I looked through some previous issues which stated to reinstall ollama, restart ollama via brew services restart ollama.
Both give the same error.
I also tried running ollama serve, which gives the following error

Error: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:11434: bind: address already in use.

Had found the same issue on another bug report which was closed saying issue solved with merge. But still having the same issue.
One suggestion i had seen was setting the ollama_path manually by export OLLAMA_HOST = localhost: 8.8.8.8.
After which i could perform ollama serve.
But then when i do run the ollama run llama2 on a separate window

I get the following error

pulling manifest
Error: pull model manifest: file does not exist

But on doing ollama list i clearly see both the models there.
Also tried pulling the models again but still no progress.

I am using Macbook M3 Pro and cli i am using is iterm2.

Ollama version

I encountered the same problem.
In my case, the problem was solved after I entered the following command.

$ brew install ollama 
> Warning: Treating ollama as a formula. For the cask, use homebrew/cask/ollama or specify the `--cask` flag.
Warning: ollama 0.1.32 is already installed, it's just not linked.
To link this version, run:
  brew link ollama

$  brew link --overwrite  ollama
