In the Windows environment, how can I specify the model file in a specific folder when executing Ollama?
the model file size is so large

Same question here, the setup should ask for the directory to install the app and a path to store the models.

You can use the OLLAMA_MODELS env setting. This is mentioned in the FAQ, but we haven't (yet) updated it to include Windows.
