This is what I had to do (works in Command prompt windows):

  1. curl -L https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/download/v0.20.0-rc1/OllamaSetup.exe -o OllamaSetup.exe
  2. OllamaSetup.exe

I am getting this even with 0.20.2 on macOS (pull model manifest: 412: The model you are attempting to pull requires a newer version of Ollama. Please download the latest version at: https://ollama.com/download)

Already ensured no ollama process is running, etc. Still won't pull.

curl -fsSL https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/download/v0.20.0-rc1/install.sh | sh

At this point this is older than the release version which is broken.

Restart the server.

Installed ollama with brew, the following commands fixed my gemma4 download issue:

brew update
brew upgrade ollama
brew services restart ollama
brew services    # make sure the ollama service is healthy
ollama pull gemma4    # succeeded

If you're still getting the same error even after restarting the server, try killing the running ollama process and then run it again

Restarting server helped me. Updating Ollama doesn't seem to restart the server so you might have latest client but old version of the server running.
