Simply run curl -fsSL https://lmstudio.ai/install.sh | bash

After you install, don’t forget to source your .bashrc file via source .bashrc so that you can run the lms command.

To bring it up, run lms daemon up

After it’s up, you can download a model using lms get, like this:

lms get MODEL_LINK@MODEL_QUANTIZATION

e.g.

lms get https://lmstudio.ai/models/nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-omni@q8_0

To load a model into memory:

lms load "nemotron-3-nano-omni" --context-length 128000

To start the server:

lms server start --port 1234

That’s it, Enjoy!
