What is the issue?

when using the install script found in a pre-release release it doesn't install the most recent pre-release but instead the most recent full release.

Easily fixed by either updating the install script for the releases or making it clear in the release description on how to specify the ollama version (by exporting OLLAMA_VERSION=0.17.1 in this case)

Relevant log output

Linux, Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
Kernel: 6.18.13-1-liquorix-amd64

GPU

AMD Radeon 8060s Graphics [Integrated]

CPU

The install script installs the latest release. Instructions for specifying a different version are shown here.
