Instead of exiting with an error code, the script continued to the next steps and printed >>> Install complete. Run "ollama" from the command line., even though the environment was not properly configured (service wasn't created and user wasn't added). The script should check the exit status ($?) of each critical command. If a command fails (especially user creation or service setup), the script should terminate immediately with an error message and a non-zero exit code.

Fix Plan

To address the issue, we need to modify the installation script to check the exit status of critical commands, especially those related to user creation and service setup.

Here are the steps:

• Modify the install.sh script to check the exit status ($?) after each critical command.
• If a command fails, terminate the script immediately with an error message and a non-zero exit code.

Example code snippet:

# Create ollama user
sudo useradd -m ollama
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "Failed to create ollama user"
  exit 1
fi

# Create service
sudo systemctl start ollama.service
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "Failed to start ollama service"
  exit 1
fi

Alternatively, you can use set -e at the beginning of the script to exit immediately if any command fails:

set -e
sudo useradd -m ollama
sudo systemctl start ollama.service

Verification

To verify the fix, run the modified installation script and intentionally cause a command to fail (e.g., by entering an incorrect password). The script should terminate with an error message and a non-zero exit code.

Extra Tips

• Always check the exit status of critical commands in scripts to ensure that errors are properly handled.
• Use set -e to simplify error handling in scripts.
• Test scripts thoroughly to catch any potential issues before releasing them to production.
