Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8640

I would like to specify install location either with a parameter --install-dir or with a variable $OLLAMA_INSTALL_DIR or both

the variable already exists in installer script, so it should be enough to allow overwriting it with custom value. something like:

export OLLAMA_INSTALL_DIR="/home/user/ollamainst"
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

@jmorganca, I'd like to work on implementing the feature discussed in issue #8640, which involves specifying the install location via a parameter or environment variable. Could you please assign this issue to me?
