Use llamafile [1], it can be as simple as downloading a file (for mixtral, [2]), making it executable and running it. The repo README has all the info, it's simple and downloading the model is what takes the most time.

In my case I got the runtime detection issue (explained in the README "gotcha" section). Solved my running "assimilate" [3] on the downloaded llamafile.
