Command not found: make - Raspberry Pi Forums
Wed Feb 06, 2019 8:58 pm I tried downloading and installing the make app but when I try running apt-get I again get "command not found: apt-get" so that is not installed. Odd. Are you sure you are running Raspbian? "apt-get" and "make" should be directly usable.

Hi all. I'm trying to install one of those local A.i programs. Using Manjaro KDE. I have the install command from github, but here is the output from the terminal:

[jersten@LinuxRig ~]$ git clone https://github.com/fredi-python/llama.cpp.git && cd llama.cpp && make -j && cd models && wget -c https://huggingface.co/CRD716/ggml-vicuna-1.1-quantized/resolve/main/ggml-vicuna-13B-1.1-q5_1.bin

Cloning into 'llama.cpp'...

Looks like everything was going well for awhile there. Any idea why I couldn't complete the installation? Thank you
