What is the issue?

ollama install command, curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh, removes and reinstalls even if there is no version update.

The script should not remove current version downloads, if there is no version update.

Hi @lamyergeier, this is currently by design to make sure the latest version of Ollama is installed, or in case the install was partially deleted. Let me know if there's a specific use case you have in mind - there should be a way to script this with the /api/version endpoint or ollama -v and checking the latest release on GitHub via GitHub's APIs

@jmorganca

Use case: if there is no update the commands downloads several GB of same files again, which is unnecessary waste of time and energy.

If people want to install anyways then can give - - force argument along with it.
