Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/5305

What is the issue?

I'm deploying Ollama for some of the users in my organization who do not have local administrator rights. I wrote a script to symlink the ollama executable to /usr/local/bin/ollama for the user during install.

However, when they start the app, it still asks them to install the command line tools, which they cannot do because they are not an admin.

Is there a way to bypass this step during first run?

The PR #5306 that I submitted adds a check to installed() before attempting to re-run the symlink command. This check doesn't already exist, because the app would bypass that onboarding step if it did.

The problem is that store.get('first-time-run') only returns true after completing the setup wizard, not before.

f9d2d89135/macapp/src/index.ts (L257-L264)

A workaround is to modify the file ~/Library/Application Support/Ollama/config.json by hand, setting first-time-run to true.
