📄 Description

Closes #14152

What this does

Adds an ollama update command so users can update Ollama without manually downloading an installer from the website.

Platform behavior

  • Linux: re-invokes the official install.sh script (handles sudo, systemd, NVIDIA, ARM, WSL2, etc.)
  • macOS / Windows: informs the user that the desktop app auto-updates, and provides the manual install command as a fallback

Flags

  • --check: report whether a newer version is available without installing anything

Example output

Up to date:

$ ollama update
ollama is already up to date (version 0.6.1)

Update available (check only):

$ ollama update --check
A new version of ollama is available: 0.6.2 (current: 0.6.1)
Download: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/download/v0.6.2/ollama-linux-amd64.tgz

Linux install:

$ ollama update
Updating ollama to version 0.6.2...
Running: curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

Testing

  • 5 unit tests added in cmd/update_test.go using a mock HTTP server
  • Covers: up-to-date response (204), --check output, version extraction from URL, server error handling, query param correctness
  • All existing cmd package tests continue to pass
