Describe the bug

I am attempting to follow the download instructions from https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-models?tab=readme-ov-file. I am running the CLI commands through the Command Prompt as an administrator. Things seem to be going smoothly until I attempt to run the command in the title, which yields the error message

llama download: error: Download failed: No module named 'llama_models.cli.model'

Minimal reproducible example

  1. Command prompt -> run as administrator
  2. Run "pip install llama-models"
  3. Run "llama-model list"
  4. Run "llama-model download --source meta --model-id Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E"

Output

llama download: error: Download failed: No module named 'llama_models.cli.model'

Runtime Environment

  • Model: Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E
  • Using via huggingface?: no
  • OS: Windows
  • GPU VRAM: 16GB
  • Number of GPUs: 1
  • GPU Make: AMD

Additional context Attempting to rerun pip install llama-models does not change anything. Initially I updated pip in between steps 2 and 3
