generate the sha256 hash using sha256sum your_model.gguf

rename your_model.gguf to “sha256:_hash_” (replace _hash_ with the actual hash)

move it to /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/models/blobs folder

copy a manifest from a similar model in /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/models/

manifests/registry.ollama.ai/library and update the hash & filesize to match your model in the “image.model” entry.

repeat last step for the params entry

you can call the manifest folder/file whatever you like
