Yeah, I've been messing around with LM Studio for a few weeks/months now and compared to the alternatives, that's about the easiest thing out there. Setup through Command Line seems to be the norm outside of that. I was just messing around with trying to install the ChromaDB plugin for LM Studio and ran into that issue of the command line again. Like I don't know if they're talking about just the generic Windows Command Line program, if Git needs to be installed, is it in a python environment or does python need installed, and the guides I've tried going through seem to just skip over these basic steps and just assume you already know exactly what they're talking about, that seems like a regular thing, just not enough preliminary explanation.

Like, I've had some experience with coding over the years in various languages, but I'm used to a certain amount of hand-holding for basic guides, something like, "You'll need this installed from here, go ahead and load up this thing, blah blah blah." In most of the tutorials I've been seeing for anything related to LLMs or AI image generators or whatever, there's just rarely any acknowledgement of complete newbies to the process, it's just assumed you know everything they're talking about already. I realize it's alot of copy/pasting and it's pretty straight-forward, but it feels like many guides are just glossing over really basic need-to-know info.
