Dont know where you got that from, the correct one is "curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh" right?

@lanefiedler731-gif that's the main install script yes, but the step-by-step manual install instructions are referencing a tar.zst file and need to be updated. I've got a PR available: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/14036
