Hello, I want to install ollama on and offline Ubuntu Server machine, can someone tell me how to? I have a windows machine and have a Cinnamon Mint VM. - both connected to internet.

I want to be able to run ollama, how do I install it, and what files as of now do i use? I was looking through similar issues but they were all outdated referenced to the ollama github page - eg. files that didnt exist anymore.

Can someone tell me how to? I have a USB flash drive by the way.

extent analysis

TL;DR

To install ollama on an offline Ubuntu Server machine, you'll need to download the necessary files on your internet-connected machine and transfer them to the offline server using a USB flash drive.

Guidance

  • Download the latest ollama installation files from the GitHub page on your Windows machine or Cinnamon Mint VM.
  • Transfer the downloaded files to the USB flash drive.
  • Insert the USB flash drive into the offline Ubuntu Server machine and copy the files to the server.
  • Follow the installation instructions provided with the downloaded files or in the ollama documentation to complete the installation.

Notes

The specific installation steps and required files may vary depending on the version of ollama and Ubuntu Server, so be sure to check the documentation for any specific requirements.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use the USB flash drive to transfer the necessary files to the offline server, as it is not possible to directly download them on the server itself.
