Subject: [PATCH] install: use explicit path to launch Ollama after install

`open -a Ollama` uses Launch Services to resolve the application by
name, which can find a stale Ollama.app in ~/Downloads (or elsewhere)
instead of the one we just installed to /Applications. When that old
copy launches, it prompts "Move to Applications?" and overwrites the
new installation with the old version.

Use `open "/Applications/Ollama.app"` to launch the exact copy we
just installed.
