What is the issue?

This is based on issue #6204 - I ran the installer in Ubuntu running under WSL (WIndows Subsystem for Linux). The install ran perfectly fine with no error messages. However, systemd wasn't enabled and therefore Ollama was not set up as a service. This bug report is basically to state that the installer never threw an error or warning about the issue.

OS

WSL2

GPU

CPU

Intel

Ollama version

No response

At this point: 69be940bf6/scripts/install.sh (L149)
the script should have a catchall (*)) that reports the failed systemctl command, and, if WSL, point the user to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/systemd#how-to-enable-systemd
