To find the command to update ollama on a MacOS it seems one has to join a discord server. Really?

Or you could explain what you tried and why it didn't work.

No, not really. C.f. the first FAQ entry.

TL;DR: If you did a manual installation just perform the same step you did for installation.

Thank you for your anser. I read that ofc.

Alone "Ollama on macOS and Windows will automatically download updates." doesn't do it. I am still on 0.2.5.

So I downloaded the ollama.app with version 0.2.8, but I don't know if the realtion to my downloaded models will still be there when I replace the new ollama.app (0.2.8) with the old ollama.app (0.2.5) in my Applications folder.

Why am I scared? Because some models seem to need 0.2.8:

$ ollama run mistral-nemo:12b                                                                                                                                                                1 ↵
Error: llama runner process has terminated: signal: abort trap error:check_tensor_dims: tensor 'blk.0.attn_q.weight' has wrong shape; expected  5120,  5120, got  5120,  4096,     1,     1

After some research it seems that 0.2.8 could solve above problem. But given this fact, how will the models downloaded with ollama 0.2.5 will behave with ollama 0.2.8? Will they still work, i.e. find and be able to use them without getting similar errors as above?

I am sorry if my questions sounds stupid. But in addition I just switched from Ubuntu to Silicon Mac.

Upps .. Just learned what on a MacOS "Restart to update" means. There's an icon in the top monitor for Ollama and by clicking on it:

$ ollama --version
ollama version is 0.2.8

Nevertheless ... thank you very much
