LLM Studio fail to download model with error : unable to get local issuer certificate

Question

In LLM studio, when I try to download any model, I am facing following error:

Download Failed: unable to get local issuer certificate

Answer 1

I've experienced the same in a corporate network.

To get around I have been manually downloading through my browser (the url is to the left of the error message in your screenshot) and manually loading the models into the appropriate dir: ~/.cache/lm-studio/models in the appropriate subpath.

ie ~/.cache/lm-studio/models/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-GGUF/mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q6_K.gguf

Not the most elegant solution but I have yet to find information on a better workaround.
