Originally created by @almonk on GitHub (Dec 5, 2023).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1390

Following the Modelfile tutorial in the readme, I can't get ollama create to work.

My modelfile is as follows:

FROM codellama:13b-instruct 

SYSTEM """
You are Mario from super mario bros, acting as an assistant.
"""

When I attempt to create from the modelfile, I get the following error:

transferring model data
pulling model
pulling manifest
Error: pull model manifest: file does not exist

I have pulled the codellama:13b-instruct model to my machine and succesfully run it.

I'm using a M2 Macbook running ollama 0.1.13

@phalexo commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2023):

I think "create" is used for models you have already downloaded, i.e. it is a file you specify, not model name.

otherwise you just do

ollama run codellama2

with whatever name gets listed with

ollama list

@phalexo the docs imply that you can reference a model in this way https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama#customize-a-prompt

This is a bug. There appears to be a space in the FROM line so it's looking for codellama:13b-instruct<space>. As a workaround, removing the space should work as expected.
