2. Ollama curl install

Go to ollama.com/download/mac download ollama with curl

Chatgpt recommends


ollama pull qwen3.5:4b

For MAC INTEL 16GB

check if you have


ollama version


ollama list

2. Ollama Variant

This is where the Variant is created to copy model with correct context window size with new name

Open the termainl and paste in the following string ,


printf 'FROM gemma4:e4b\nPARAMETER num_ctx 64000\n' > /tmp/gemma4e-64k.Modelfile && ollama create gemma4e-64k -f /tmp/gemma4e-64k.Modelfile

^{** I don't understand how it's implemeted from this}


ollama list

To see the model copy Variant type

**Running the printf command ALSO pulled the model with having to download it first

5 . Chatgpt Troubleshooterror Hermes Desktop -1

I pasted in entire termainl from above,

Chatgpt is saying ,

                        We found the problem! Your Hermes Desktop files are already installed, but Hermes is launching from the wrong location.

Your terminal confirms:
Desktop source exists

~/.hermes/hermes-agent/apps/desktop
Hermes is looking here instead

~/.local/share/mise/installs/pipx-hermes-agent/0.19.0/hermes-agent/lib/python3.13/site-packages/apps/desktop

 i just made a variant of the qwen model then i tried running 

ollama launch hermes-desktop

but i'm getting this 

desktop gui source not found at: /home/tt/.local/shar/ mise ... Error : exit status 1/

all on my omarchy linux mac with 16gb of ram , what do i have to do to get hermes desktop going

Chatgpt says:

Do everything in the picutre, ollama launch hermes-desktop -- --forcebuild DOES NOT work

These command just display everything


which hermes


hermes --version


ls -la ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/apps/desktop
