Try this after installing ollama, run $ ollama serve

let that be there. open another shell and run ollama [commands], as an example: $ ollama run llama2

You might have to enable the systemctl service manually, after that the ollama serve should be redundant.

systemctl enable ollama
systemctl start ollama

systemctl enable ollama
systemctl start ollama

I tried this and i am getting this error not sure what it means

└─$ systemctl enable ollama systemctl start ollama System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

You started on a windows host with windows backend but your posted error message suggests that you are using the wsl with a linux distribution.

My wild guess is that you use the default distro wich would be Ubuntu LTS. Luckily systemd is supported and can now be activated for your WSL distro: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/systemd

After activating systemd, you should be able to systemctl enable ollama

here just to mention that ollama service has to be launched first (verify that on ubuntu : systemctl status ollama.service) then you can start working with it

Getting error is ollama running right after updating to the latest version of ollama

TY! this worked. Just had to open another shell. TY

systemctl enable ollama
systemctl start ollama

that's not working on mac, also lunchctl wasn't recgonized by the zsh terminal

Mine are listening on specific addresses, it would seem:

netstat -tupln|grep -F :11434

This is what worked for me:

OLLAMA_HOST=my-host:11434 ollama run my-model

So simple problem, just do this, and this will solve this error - ollama serve
