These are the instructions I have to build and install Mirheo:

Install Mirheo Tools

 cd $HOME mkdir src cd src git clone --recursive https://github.com/cselab/Mirheo.git cd Mirheo cd tools ./configure --bin-prefix $HOME/.local/bin --exec-cmd srun make make install 

Install Mirheo

 cd $HOME/src/Mirheo . mir.load mir.make install cd .. rm -rf Mirheo 

Install python modules

 python -m pip install trimesh --user python -m pip install mpi4py --user 

Is there any way the whole thing can be reduced to:

Install Mirheo Tools

 cd $HOME mkdir src cd src git clone --recursive https://github.com/cselab/Mirheo.git cd Mirheo make install # or ./install.sh 

I'd leave to you to figure out how to do this (though I believe I can help). This will make things much more user friendly.
