Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11336

What is the issue?

I am using the cask version of Ollama 0.9.5 installed by brew on macOS. Usually I could updated to the latest version by clicking the "Restart to update" menu on the menu bar.

But for 0.9.5, I couldn't do that. After clicking the restart menu and input the root password, Ollama showed the settings window instead of quit and restart.

The settings window was newly added in the recent versions.

I workaround this by using brew. However, brew upgrade didn't work. I have to use brew install. And somehow for brew it was upgraded from 0.6.1 to 0.9.6. Not 0.9.5 to 0.9.6, which was the real matter.
