Ollama not installing on the Mac Intel x64

betterbrand opened this issue · 2 comments

Using ARM, everything works as expected. Without Ollama installed, the app functions perfectly.

Using electron-forge, I've added an x64 dmg build. Electron builds, notarizes, staples, and installs on Mac intel machines.

I have ollama included in the package at src/service/ollama/runners/ollama-darwin.app
When people test the app, an error is thrown:

Signal (7) 2023-11-30 11-28-11

I've tried to put the ollama.app in a directory called 'ollama-darwin' like this: src/service/ollama/runners/ollama-darwin/ollama.app, but still got the error.

Thanks in advance for your help. I love this project.

Hey @betterbrand thanks for the kind words. ollama-darwin is actually what the executable is named rather than a directory it should be in. I see the confusion here, I'll fix the README now.

For reference, here are the steps re-worded for clarity.

  1. Download ollama-darwin from ollama-darwin
  2. Make the downloaded binary executable: chmod +x /path/to/ollama-darwin
  3. Place this ollama-darwin executable directly into src/service/ollama/runners (not a sub-directory).

Let me know if you hit anymore issues.
