[FEATURE_REQUEST] Install cURL, git, nvm, nodejs inside miniconda

Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe.

The launcher and installer scripts require sudo to install a bunch of dependencies. On a steam-deck, while the rootfs can be unlocked and written to, the fs is immutable and so the rootfs gets wiped every steam update.

Describe the solution you'd like

In order to fully isolate SillyTavern from the rest of the system, we could simply install all the required binaries inside miniconda itself.

This negates the need to install anything on the system side. And everything is neatly packed up inside the conda environment.

Is this something you would be keen to implement?

Maybe

i do ask why you are trying to run this on steamdeck? are you doing this with an accompanying textgen api or as a way to bring your collection with you?

But at the same time this is a good idea because it keeps the main system clean

[ParthKolekar]

I don't have any other computer. The SteamDeck is my daily driver.

if you are, can i ask how the performance of cuda is on it? eg using oogabooga textgen?

[ParthKolekar]

The SteamDeck ships with an AMD APU. So cuda doesn't run. I set up LLMs using ollama (Vulcan based GPU acceleration) or CPU (anything that doesn't have support).
