> but then the shell commands were actually running llama.cpp, a mistake probably no human would make.

But in the docs I see things like

    cp llama.cpp/build/bin/llama-* llama.cpp

Yes it's probs the ordering od the docs thats the issue :) Ie https://docs.unsloth.ai/basics/deepseek-v3.1#run-in-llama.cp... does:

```

apt-get update

apt-get install pciutils build-essential cmake curl libcurl4-openssl-dev -y

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp cmake llama.cpp -B llama.cpp/build \ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DGGML_CUDA=ON -DLLAMA_CURL=ON

cmake --build llama.cpp/build --config Release -j --clean-first --target llama-quantize llama-cli llama-gguf-split llama-mtmd-cli llama-server

cp llama.cpp/build/bin/llama-* llama.cpp

```

but then Ollama is above it:

```

./llama.cpp/llama-gguf-split --merge \ DeepSeek-V3.1-GGUF/DeepSeek-V3.1-UD-Q2_K_XL/DeepSeek-V3.1-UD-Q2_K_XL-00001-of-00006.gguf \ merged_file.gguf

```

I'll edit the area to say you first have to install llama.cpp
