Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/5880

The Windows installers works great, but requires that I manually download/update it from the ollama website. Would it be possible, probably when the Windows version has matured some more, to add ollama to Chocolatey? That will probabably aid in making this an (even) easier to install package on Windows.

I understand winget is the supported Windows installation method, but at the moment it seems chocolatey has a larger package repository (10k vs 6k on winget) and for example Ansible supports choco and not winget due to some issue between Windows Server 2022 and winget.

Also, is this an either/or feature? I don't know anything about maintaining packages on winget/chocolatey, but perhaps the package can be published on both winget and chocolatey?

First place where I was trying to find ollama is... Chocolatey. I like this package manager. And it would be great if ollama provide it.

+1 vote for choco
The first I tried was "choco install ollama" and ... well, surprise, it's not there

edited: actually, it's worse, someone did take the "ollama" name in the choco and it's not ollama
