Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/4233

How do I locate the downloaded files? This should be possible via some ollama command.
When pulling we should be asked where do we want the data to be saved.

Both ~/.ollama/models and /usr/share/ollama/ don't exist on my machine and yet I'm interacting with llama3!
