If you don't have an nVidia GPU we will just use CPU. Are you saying its not running? What OS, CPU, and how much ram do you have?

yes, it is not running. it's giving the error i showed in my first message. tried it on linux mint, ryzen 3 5000 series cpu, 20 gb ram. As well as on a different, newer machine with an intel core i5, 16 gb ram, through debian on wsl. got the same error for both.

I get same error on Intel Arc on WSL, I didn't see any flags to force ollama to run on the CPU, I also tried to disable GPU acceleration in WSL but I still got the same error. (Mot sure if GPU acceleration was in fact disabled on WSL but I did set it in the
.wslconfig file.)

so ollama serve should already be running and you don't need to run it yourself. Aslo, i don't see an error. What happens when you run ollama run mistral?

@srgantmoomoo and I worked through the issue on a Discord DM. ollama serve outputted what looks like an error message and they quit the program. The solution was to let it run and then in a new terminal window, run ollama run <modelname>

I will go ahead and close this issue now. If you think there is anything we left out, reopen and we can address. Thanks for being part of this great community.

Can confirm that it works.

Maybe you should post this in the readme so people don't have to hunt down this issue.
