  • Commented: "LM Studio 0.4"

    Turns out the apps in /Application/ run as you. Problem (between keyboard and chair :-) solved.

  • Commented: "LM Studio 0.4"

    Honestly, I don't know! I should write an app and see who it runs as. I did an `ls -l /Applications`, and while every file is owned by `root`, none has the `suid` bit set.

    LM Studio doesn't have an installer. Those often have to run as admin, and who knows what they're doing then, so that probably wrongly set my concerns about putting stuff in /Applications/.

    I'll dig around the interwebs and see if this is answered elsewhere.

    Thanks!

    Nope - on macOS, almost all apps are just "drag this to wherever (usually your own personal application folder)" and they work perfectly, since they don't need admin privileges. But this one insists on running from /Applications - the root application directory - and for reason. To install there, you have to be admin. I really don't want apps installed as admin, and possibly then able to get admin privileges. It's just basic security.

    There's a thread on their Discord that was reported in February of last year. No fix, no comments.
