Installing Llama cpp on Windows

We walk through a local build of Llama.cpp on a Windows machine! And we use the word "build" because it's not just a download and install but rather a download and build from source. Very cool process!

Llama.cpp is a command line inference engine and the basis for many of the user-interfaces that you will find yourself using.

Being lightweight, llama.cpp can run on Android devices, old-machines, and absolutely blaze on machines with 8+gb of VRAM.

You will need the Github CLI installed
