What is the issue?

Error Pulling Manifest Repeatedly

When I first installed Ollama on my early 2015 13in Macbook Air (1.6GHz Dual Core Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 600 1536 MB) it worked perfectly fine once i used it again after instilation i got the error:

Error: pull model manifest: file does not exist

I looked through the github issues and was told to re-install Ollama and am still getting the same error, please advise on where to go next.

OS

macOS

GPU

Ollama version

Hi there which model did you pull? Running ollama pull llama3 should do it! Let me know if you're still seeing the error.

@Moonlight1220 I'm able to pull models on an intel mac with 0.1.48.

Do you see any models with ollama ls ? If you try something like ollama pull llama3 does that give the same error, or does it work?

When I try to pull an incorrect model name, I see the same error you see

> ollama pull bogusmodelname
pulling manifest
Error: pull model manifest: file does not exist

Perhaps you have a typo in your model name?

I'm getting the same issue with my macbook.
Ollama pull works, Ollama ls shows llama3.1:latest 91ab477bec9d 4.7 GB

ollama run llama 3.1 command throws:
pulling manifest
Error: pull model manifest: file does not exist

EDIT: Model name was wrong. After putting ollama run llama3.1 (without space) everything worked!

@Moonlight1220 can you share more information? What version of Ollama are you using? What model are you trying to pull? Most likely it's a typo, so please cut-and-paste the exact pull command you're trying.
