 "title": "Build Gufo from source with Nix and run diagnostics",
 "page_title": "How to build Gufo from source with Nix and run diagnostics with Gufo",
 "summary": "Compile the production package with Nix, check the Strix Halo setup, and start a local model.",
 "who": "A Linux engineer on Strix Halo who wants a reproducible build or needs to debug GPU access before serving models.",
 "problem": "ROCm and GPU setup on Strix Halo is fragile, and a manual build can drift from the tested toolchain.",
 "outcome": "A built Gufo binary that reports the device status and serves a local GGUF model.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone the Gufo repo and run `nix build` in its root to build the production package.",
  "Run `./result/bin/gufo diagnose` to check the GPU and runtime setup.",
  "Run `./result/bin/gufo serve llm --model /path/to/model.gguf` with your own GGUF model file.",
  "If the build needs the development tools, run `nix develop` as the README describes for profiling and model download tools. (inferred, check the README)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Clone the gufo repo, run nix build, then run ./result/bin/gufo diagnose and report its full output. Start ./result/bin/gufo serve llm --model <path to GGUF file> and confirm the server reports it is listening.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "2 hours",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README states the Nix package includes a ROCr 7.2.3 patch for Strix Halo, so a build on other GPU or ROCm setups is outside the documented target.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [
  "Software and DevOps"
 ],
 "lang": "c++",
 "requirements": [
  "Linux x86-64 machine with AMD Strix Halo (gfx1151) and enough unified memory for the chosen model",
  "Podman with rootless GPU device access to /dev/kfd and /dev/dri",
  "Hugging Face CLI (hf) to download model weights",
  "Several tens of GB of free disk space for model files"
