Hi @jaqenwang you don't need to restart ollama for the changes to take effect when you update a model, but if you wish to here is how:
Mac: Exit the Ollama toolbar application and re-open it.
Linux: Run systemctl restart ollama.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

You might be running the snap. Try sudo snap restart ollama.

for me. I had to add new Environment line in /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service file.

[Service]
Environment="OLLAMA_ORIGINS=*"

after this

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl stop ollama

sudo systemctl start ollama
