Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/7870

What is the issue?

When I use Windows CMD to create a Modelfile from the huggingface model, I run the command 'FROM path-to-safetensors-directory', but it reports an error that the FROM keyword is not supported. Using git bash doesn't work either.

What's the content of your Modelfile? What's the actual error message?

That's not how you create a Modelfile. The Modelfile contains the FROM command.

C:\Users\szh> copy con Modelfile
FROM C:/Users/szh/Downloads/Llama-3-8B
^Z
C:\Users\szh> ollama create llama-3-8b -f Modelfile

or

C:\Users\szh> echo FROM C:/Users/szh/Downloads/Llama-3-8B > Modelfile
C:\Users\szh> ollama create llama-3-8b -f Modelfile

or

C:\Users\szh> cd Downloads/Llama-3-8B
C:\Users\szh\Downloads/Llama-3-8B> echo FROM . > Modelfile
C:\Users\szh\Downloads/Llama-3-8B> ollama create llama-3-8b -f Modelfile
