It's literally three steps, assuming you have the equivalent of the debian "build-essential" dependencies installed on your system for cmake, compiler. It's the exact three rows of my post, pasted one at a time into the CLI. The llama-server build guide page is actually pretty good.

I mean, sure, if there's people who can't figure that out, they're probably better off using a GUI that is a wrapper on top of somebody else's precompiled llama-server, like unsloth studio or lm studio. There's a good sized market for that and I wish them well.

You're right about all of that up until the point any one of those commands doesn't work and you get a garglblargl amount of incomprehensible error messages. You've been in the sauce for so long that you've forgotten what it's like to start fresh in these things.
Please give it a try before you assume it won't work? Tell me what platform you're on and follow the three sequential cli commands I provided, and if it doesn't compile I'll be glad to look at your error message and get it going in the right direction.
You're missing the trees for the forest, friend. I know how to troubleshoot this stuff. I wouldn't expect some random schmo who's just learning ubuntu for the first time to be able to.

This, "just run these three commands" attitude is exactly the reason why these curl|sh "installers" have become popular.
