Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2312

When I attempt to run a large 80GB model using ollama run in a Linux environment, I encounter an issue of insufficient storage space. This is because the model-related files are by default stored in the ~/.ollama directory, and my system partition has limited space for files of this size.
I would like to know if there is a configuration or method available to change the default storage path for model files, allowing me to specify a directory with sufficient space to store these large files. Such a feature would be extremely useful for managing large models, especially in storage-constrained environments.

Use 'OLLAMA_MODELS' environment variable to set model path
