Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/12453

What is the issue?

In my corporate environment I have to request elevated privileges to install applications in /Applications. To avoid this point of friction I install most applications in ~/Applications.

I installed Ollama in ~/Applications but Ollama continually nags to be installed in /Applications. Ollama also requests admin privileges to install the CLI, which I already installed via brew.

Actual results:

On startup:

  • Nags to move Ollama to /Applications
  • Nags to install the CLI

Expected results

  • Ollama should ask once and never ask again to be installed in /Applications
  • Ollama should check whether the CLI is already install before asking to install the CLI.
