What is the issue?

Hello to this special group.

I have been trying to install deepseek-7b over ubuntu with ollama. It seems to do everything right but when pulling the model (pull deepseek-7b), it answers with "Error: pull model manifest: file does not exist" then it fails. I didn't find this file in my computer, I was assisted by deepseek online without being able to make the installation correctly for days, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, following deepseek instructions and it has not worked.
Is there a way to get this manifesto file to make this work? In what path should it be?
Thank you in advance to anyone who could help me
Luis

It seem that this was my error because right now it is downloading the model. I was ommiting 'r1: !!!'
