Hi @ArshSharan - is Ollama running in the tray bar? You may need to start it first. If you're still seeing this issue let me know and I can reopen 😊

Yes, it runs in the tray bar, but it still gives me the same error. When I write the command a few times on the terminal, it opens multiple ollama (icons) in my tray bar.

I also encountered this issue, and Ollama was NOT in the tray bar. Running ollama start resolved the issue for me, but Ollama is still not in the tray bar (although it usually is).

My OS is Windows and my computer crashed a few times earlier this week, which I blame on Windows.
ollama version is 0.3.0
