What would you like to see?

During installation, can AnythingLLM detect if ollama is already installed on the system, and if it is, avoid downloading it again to reduce the use of the user's disk space?

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Mar 5, 2025):

Unfortunately, no - the installer has limited access to the system, and reliably detecting Ollama prior would be erroneous. That being said, we will be making that part skippable in the next few updates.

Moving to #3123
