LMStudio Portable Launch Script (LMS PLS)

Installation

Just create a directory and put the .cmd files inside it:

Execute launchLMS.cmd
- It will create some directories and will ask you to download "LM-Studio-x.y.z-Setup.exe" from his website
- Download it and put it inside <currentPath>\Installers path
Execute launchLMS.cmd again
- LMStudio will install.
  - In case you don't skip onboarding, you'll be prompted to "Enable local LLM service on login" in the "Download your first local LLM" page: ⚠️ Disable it ⚠️
- Download a model, check configuration, etc...
- Close LM Studio
Execute launchLMS.cmd again
- Everything should be as it was before.

Launching as a service

After normal installation, you can start launchLMS_service.cmd to run LMS in headless mode.

Known Bugs

LMS will populate <currentPath>\UserProfile\.cache\lm-studio with some (empty) dirs and config-presets (json).
Those config-presets aren't actually being downloaded from the internet, but recreated upon launch.

I've set up the script to grab those and sync them with the portable dirs:
The path is being used by electron upon launch and the app will crash if its forcefully deleted while it's running (content is not)

Folder Icon

You can either...

Execute setFolderIcon.cmd

Open a CMD/terminal window inside the portable app dir and execute three comands:

attrib +R .
attrib +H +S +R desktop.ini
attrib +H +S +R LMSFolder.ico
