I'm from the 90s and early 2000s Windows days when most of my time was spent figuring things out and getting things to run

STILL don't understand what I'm supposed to do with the stuff on GitHub lmao πŸ˜‚

Usually just go to the β€œreleases” section in the right, click the latest release, and download the built executable for your system from there.

I don't think this one has an executable, but it doesn't require compilation either. And instructions are quite simple.

Nah it's just a python script.

Best you are going to get is a docker-compose.yml normally.

All I know about python is that blender uses it so maybe it can be placed in there

It's code, git clone then build. If there is a standard makefile it's super easy. If it's some modern age hispter trash build system you're in for some pain.

or download from the releases?

It's simply a Pyhton script, you can run it directly or build a Docker image.

Meson + ninja is pretty nice. Builds a lot faster than autotools as well.

Unless the build step is going to do something super custom I shouldn't be required to build it myself.

"Build a Docker image." Not "build the application".

Or, you know, don't use the free thing.
