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
- Command prompt -> run as administrator
- Run "pip install llama-models"
- Run "llama-model list"
- 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

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