Compiling obs-browser

Hi. I'm trying to compile just obs-browser but I can't get it. In the project's web there is information to compile obs-studio together with obs-browser, but it's not what I need.
Does anyone know how to compile obs-browser only?
Thank you very much, a greeting.

Just some suggestions right of the top of my head:

A, Build the whole package, studio and plugin but throw away the bits you don't need at the end?

B, obs-browser seems to use cmake, so what happens of you try to build it the usual way? Something adapted from the instructions for the whole package, e.g.:

wget https://cdn-fastly.obsproject.com/downloads/cef_binary_3770_linux64.tar.bz2

tar -xjf ./cef_binary_3770_linux64.tar.bz2

git clone obs-browsers bla bla bla

cd obs-browsers

mkdir build && cd build

cmake -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=1 -DCEF_ROOT_DIR="../../cef_binary_3770_linux64" ..

make

Thanks for the answer but it doesn't work. In the end I have chosen to compile everything (obs-studio plus obs-browser) following the instructions.
I think it is rare that only the installation on Ubuntu LTS and derivatives offer obs-studio plus obs-browser and the rest only obs-studio.
Greetings.
