Software Setup
This section will walk you through setting up a local AI coding stack for the workshop’s Exercise 2 (Module 5).
Set this up before the workshop
The campus WiFi will not be able to handle dozens of students downloading large model files simultaneously. Please install LM Studio and download a model before you arrive.
A short guide has been sent by email. If you missed it, the full setup instructions are linked in the sidebar.
The stack we will use:
- LM Studio – downloads and runs local language models on your machine
- OpenCode – an open-source agentic coding harness that connects to LM Studio (or any OpenAI-compatible server) via a local API
Choose the guide for your operating system from the sidebar.
