Ollama – v0.16.3: install: prevent partial download script execution (#14311)

🚨 Ollama v0.16.3 is live — and it’s all about security & stability! 🔒

This isn’t a flashy feature drop, but it’s super important for keeping your local LLM setup safe and reliable.

🔹 What’s new?

  • The install script is now wrapped in a `main` function 🧱
  • If the download gets interrupted (e.g., network hiccup), only the complete, valid script runs
  • Partial or corrupted downloads won’t accidentally execute — goodbye, weird bugs & security risks!

✅ Why you’ll love it:

✔️ Safer installs, especially on spotty connections

✔️ No more half-downloaded scripts causing chaos

✔️ Peace of mind — no hidden gotchas

📦 No new models or API changes this time — just a rock-solid upgrade under the hood.

👉 Upgrade now via `curl`, `brew`, or your preferred method and keep your local LLMs running clean & secure! 🛡️💻
