> No docker image

This makes me sad that this became an expectation. And yet, I've been distributing softwares via Docker for almost a decade now, but CLI/GUI tools?



I don’t see the problem for quickly trying out code…

The code is in C afaict. If it would be Go or Java, I would be fine to build it myself, but C…. I’m worried about getting into a rabbit hole especially as GPU support is required. Building with GPU on mac silicon can be pretty complex.

Compare this to running a container with 1 - 2 lines.

Btw I should have inquired about a container image, don’t want to imply that Docker is the default.


it took less than a minute to figure out dependencies and build on my workstation (EL9). If you don't have an OS with a package manager, it might be harder though...
