ollama - 💡(How to fix) Fix qwen3.5 nvfp4 models say "this model requires macOS" [2 comments, 2 participants]

$ ollama pull qwen3.5:9b-nvfp4 pulling manifest Error: pull model manifest: 412: this model requires macOS

Fix Plan

The fix is to modify the Ollama configuration to allow model pulling on Linux.

• Check the Ollama documentation for any specific configuration options related to model pulling on non-macOS systems.
• Update the Ollama configuration file to include the following:

model_pulling:
  allow_non_macos: true

Alternatively, you can try setting an environment variable before running the ollama pull command:

export OLLAMA_ALLOW_NON_MACOS=true
ollama pull qwen3.5:9b-nvfp4

• If the above steps do not work, try updating Ollama to the latest version.

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, run the ollama pull command again and check for any error messages.

Extra Tips

• Make sure your GPU and CPU meet the minimum requirements for the model you are trying to pull.
• Check the Ollama documentation for any known issues or limitations related to model pulling on Linux systems.
