Extract the AppImage

./0.3.39.AppImage --appimage-extract

this will create a folder (directory),  named squashfs-root.
move your terminal directory to the folder where extracted files are.

cd squashfs-root

*or you can open another terminal in GUI

 

Change Ownership of chrome-sandbox

sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox

chown: change owner
The command above is to changing the owner to "root" user, "super user", so that the chrome-sandbox can be freely used for running LM Studio

sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox

This command will change chrome-sandbox to read/write/execute

 

How to run LM studio

You can run through AppImage directly. You can put it in the taskbar, too.

2. through terminal

Change directory accordingly!
