llama.cpp packaged as a snap. The main snap ships a CPU build that works on any x86_64 or arm64 machine. Optional snap components add GPU backends:
sudo snap install --edge --devmode llama-cpp # CPU
sudo snap install --edge --devmode llama-cpp+hip # add AMD GPU
sudo snap install --edge --devmode llama-cpp+cuda # add NVIDIA GPU
Select a backend persistently with:
sudo snap set llama-cpp backend={cpu,hip,cuda,auto} # auto = probe
snap get llama-cpp backend
or override it per invocation with the env var:
LLAMA_CPP_BACKEND=cpu llama-cpp cli ...

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed on Fedora from the command line:
sudo dnf install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
To install llama-cpp, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install llama-cpp
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
