Hi! I am trying to work on a project that could highly benefit from a model trained for security. I tried to download the model in LMstudio and get the following error. Would highly appreciate you helping out with this so I can complete my project. Thanks in advance.

Hi, You’re most likely unable to download the model because it’s private. You can follow the instructions below to resolve this. 🙏🏻

How to Download a Private Hugging Face Model into LM Studio Using an Access Token

  1. Prepare on Hugging Face
    1. Ensure you have access to the model.
      • If the repo is private, you must be added as a collaborator.
      • If it’s a gated (restricted) model, go to the repo page and “Agree & Access” / “Request access”.
    2. Create a Read token
      • On Hugging Face: Settings → Access Tokens → New token → Role/Scope: Read → copy the token.

  1. Add the token in LM Studio (GUI – easiest method)
    1. Go to LM Studio → Settings → Integrations/Providers → Hugging Face.
    2. Paste your Access Token into the field and click Save / Verify.

  1. Download the model in LM Studio

LM Studio works best with GGUF format models (e.g., from TheBloke/… repos).

•	In Models → Explore/Download, type the full repo name (e.g., owner/repo-name) or paste the Hugging Face model URL.
•	Pick the desired .gguf file (e.g., Q4_K_M, Q5_K_M, Q6_K_M) and click Download.
•	Once downloaded, it will appear under Local, ready to run.

Or manual Download files

huggingface-cli login

or one-time:

huggingface-cli login --token HF_xxx

huggingface-cli download owner/repo-name --include "*.gguf" --local-dir ./my-model

Hello, you don't have the tools downloaded. LLM-Studio is not really ment for this model. Please learn first about baron and python and then proceed.

If you want to run it through Ollama, you first need to download Ollama, then create an SSH key, and enter the public key assigned to you in the “SSH keys” section of Hugging Face's settings tab. After that, you need to create a token and define it in Hugging Face. After defining it, you can access Ollama by selecting it from the “use this model” tab and running the necessary commands.

I am sharing an example scenario in writing. : 1. Use powershell > Get-Content C:\Users\User\ .ollama\id_ed25519.pub (ssh-ed25519 A******************************************************C2) the output should be like this. 2. Copy the output and go to Hugging Face/Settings/SSH Keys and after defining the ssh key, create a token and assign a name, then run the command. ( ollama run hf.co/AlicanKiraz0/Cybersecurity-BaronLLM_Offensive_Security_LLM_Q6_K_GGUF ) If you can fully understand this, the baron will begin to come down on its own, and you will be in a position to work on it. Good luck with your work.
