What are you trying to do?

If you install Ollama with a brew install --cask ollama on ARM, it creates a symlink at /opt/homebrew/bin/ollama, but the app still wants to run its install script to put a symlink in /usr/local/bin/ollama I think because of this line:

https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/macapp/src/install.ts#L9

Which causes it to pop up this window

even though ollama run is working fine in the Terminal.

How should we solve this?

some kind of plist that lets you specify the ollama symlink or even just hardcoding /opt/homebrew/bin/ollama as a possibility since that's the new default Homebrew path for ARM

What is the impact of not solving this?

Closing the "Welcome to Ollama" window when it pops up

Anything else?
