Just type in "ollama serve"
And open a new terminal.
It should work.

@mxyng commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2025):

Avoid using ollama serve when possible. Seeing as you're on Linux, the suggested method is to use systemd to manage the Ollama server's lifecycle.

If you installed Ollama using the official install script, this should've been set up for you. You can run systemctl status ollama to verify the status. This command may require sudo.

Otherwise, check https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/scripts/install.sh#L133-L148 for an example systemd service.
