Downgrading Ollama version

Problem

After installing v0.9.3 of Ollama, Ollama no longer utilize my GPU despite ollama ps showing so. nvidia-smi shows otherwise. I decided to downgrade it to a working version.

Setup

This instruction is for a Linux installation. I am using Linux Mint 22.1 / Ubuntu 24.04 FYI.

Proposed solution

  1. Download https://ollama.com/install.sh
  2. Edit the line in the .sh file

from:

VER_PARAM="${OLLAMA_VERSION:+?version=$OLLAMA_VERSION}"

to:

OLLAMA_VERSION="x.x.x"
VER_PARAM="${OLLAMA_VERSION:+?version=$OLLAMA_VERSION}"
  1. Run the newly edited .sh file to install.

This should downgade Ollama to the target version.
