find_ollama_binary: Locate the Ollama binary on disk
In screenllm: LLM-Assisted Title/Abstract Screening for Systematic Reviews
find_ollama_binary R Documentation
Locate the Ollama binary on disk
Description
Sys.which("ollama") returns "" when the parent process's PATH
doesn't include the install location. This bites macOS GUI R.app
users hard: brew installs Ollama at /usr/local/bin/ollama (Intel)
or /opt/homebrew/bin/ollama (Apple Silicon), and the double-click
R.app launcher inherits a truncated PATH that omits both. Users
with a fully working ollama in Terminal end up with a screenllm
app that refuses to start because it can't find the binary.
Usage
find_ollama_binary()
Details
This helper first tries Sys.which(), then probes a list of
known install locations per platform.
Value
Full path to the binary, or "" if none found.
