Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8491

What is the issue?

I cloned the repo and was building the macapp and it fails to build. Can't find webpack.main.config
There's a webpack.main.config.ts file but that's not the file referenced. I tried to fix it myself and fell down a rabbit hole.
I'm just bringing this to the attention of whomever is maintaining it.

I just started getting this as well:

 npm install
npm start

up to date, audited 1294 packages in 1s

276 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

31 vulnerabilities (3 low, 15 moderate, 13 high)

To address issues that do not require attention, run:
  npm audit fix

Some issues need review, and may require choosing
a different dependency.

Run `npm audit` for details.
