Ollama – v0.16.3-rc2: install: prevent partial download script execution (#14311)

🚨 Ollama v0.16.3-rc2 is here β€” and it’s all about security & reliability!

This isn’t a flashy feature drop… but exactly what we need: πŸ”’ hardened install safety.

βœ… What’s New:

  • πŸ›‘οΈ Installer now wrapped in a `main` function (PR #14311)

β†’ If your download gets interrupted (thanks, spotty Wi-Fi πŸ˜…), nothing runs until the full script is safely downloaded.

β†’ No more half-baked scripts executing mid-download β€” goodbye, silent failures & security risks!

πŸ€” Why You’ll Care:

  • More trustworthy installs, especially on unstable networks or in CI/CD pipelines.
  • Fewer “why did that just hang/crash?” moments πŸ™Œ
  • A small change with big implications for dev peace of mind.
