Very questionnable install instructions:

curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

running a script this way, especially a script that asks for root privileges is call for disaster. There are known exploits with running scripts this way example here: https://github.com/sethgrid/exploit

Problem with the install directory:

curl -LO https://ollama.com/download/ollama-linux-amd64.tgz
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/ollama
sudo tar -C /usr -xzf ollama-linux-amd64.tgz

/usr/lib is only for distribution-packaged uerland libraries. Libraries installed outside of a distribution package shall be installed inside /usr/local/lib/
