What is the issue?

AS I understand to update ollama to current version you run teh command curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh as if you install for the first time. At least I did that before and it worked.
Now I am running 0.3.8 ; "ollama version is 0.3.8" and want to update to 0.3.10 via the default curl command.
Always ends with the following error massage:

# curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
`` >>> Installing ollama to /usr/local

Downloading Linux amd64 bundle
######################################################################## 100.0%#=#=#

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now ``

Is there anything to fix that? Why is that happening? Any way to install it manually? How?

@suizideFloat can you check dmesg and see if there is a problem with your storage? This doesn't seem to be related the ollama installer, but something with either your hardware or a networking problem.

No there is no issues at all with block devices or else. Why do you think so? Why do you think a networking problem? Its downloading the installer payload. How to install/update it manually?

@suizideFloat you can pipe the install script w/ something like curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh > install.sh and then follow the commands inside of the shell script.

For whatever reason when it tries to unpack the tarball onto your machine it's not able to write to that location, which would most likely be something like permissions, or a full /usr/local or something along those lines.

I'm going to go ahead and close this since there hasn't been any update for a while.
