Yep agreed - I primarily thought it was a reasonable "hack", but it's pretty bad security wise, so apologies again.

The current solution hopefully is in between - ie sudo is gone, apt-get will run only after the user agrees by pressing enter, and if it fails, it'll tell the user to read docs on installing llama.cpp

Don't apologize, you are doing amazing work. I appreciate the effort you put.

Usually you don't make assumptions on the host OS, just try to find the things you need and if not, fail, ideally with good feedback. If you want to provide the "hack", you can still do it, but ideally behind a flag, `allow_installation` or something like that. This is, if you want your code to reach broader audiences.

Yep there's no need to apologize, you've been very courteous and took all that feedback constructively. Good stuff :)

Thank you!

Thank you! :)
