lms - Command Line Tool for LM Studio

Installation

lms ships with LM Studio. To set it up:

macOS / Linux

• Zsh

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.cache/lmstudio/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

• Bash

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.cache/lmstudio/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

Not sure which shell you're using? Pop open your terminal and run echo $SHELL to find out. /bin/zsh means you're using Zsh, /bin/bash means you're using Bash.

Windows

• lms.exe should already be in your PATH after installation. Test it by running lms in powershell or cmd.

Usage

You can use lms --help to see a list of all available subcommands. For specific details about each subcommand, use lms <subcommand> --help.

Here are some frequently used commands:

• lms status - To check the status of LM Studio.
• lms server start - To start the local API server.
• lms server stop - To stop the local API server.
• lms ls - To list all downloaded models.
• lms ps - To list all loaded models available for inferencing.

Please note that most commands, except those controlling the server, internally use lmstudio.js. Therefore, ensure the server is running before utilizing these commands. You can start the server using lms server start.
