The command to run is:

Open terminal

curl -LO https://huggingface.co/jartine/llava-v1.5-7B-GGUF/resolve/ma...

chmod 755 …

./…

Open localhost:8080 in browser

To make this accessible to a broader cohort you would package it into an app and put it somewhere with provenance, eg. A well known GitHub account or App Store.

The solution, as shown, doesn’t solve either of the problems you’ve said are problems it attempts to solve.

It is a bad solution.

Totally agreed it's not yet ideal - absolutely. But I feel we are expanding the pie of users with this step, which is just an intermediate step. Do you want to work on that packaging ;-)?
