[Installation] Quickly Install Cherry Studio

Introduction

#

Cherry Studio is a full-featured AI assistant desktop client that integrates multiple large language models (LLMs). It can help users easily complete tasks such as text generation, conversational interaction, and knowledge retrieval. Whether for daily office work, programming assistance, or creative writing, it can greatly improve efficiency.

1. Download and Installation

#

1. Open the official website: Cherry Studio Official Website – All-in-One AI Assistant
2. Click Download Client and choose the corresponding version based on your system environment:
   • Windows 64-bit (x64)
   • Windows 32-bit (x86)
   • macOS
   • Linux
3. Run the installer and click Next through the wizard.
4. Installation location recommendation:
   • The default location is C:\Program Files\Cherry Studio.
   • To avoid taking up space on the system drive, I recommend changing it to another drive, such as D:\Cherry Studio.

2. LLM Configuration

#

1. Launch Cherry Studio and click the Settings icon in the lower-left corner of the interface.
2. Choose Model Services in the sidebar and fill in the following information:
   • Service address (Endpoint)
   • Access Key / Token
   • Default model name
3. Switch to the Assistant panel, where you can choose or add new LLM service instances and adjust model parameters such as temperature and maximum length.
4. After configuration, click Save and Test. Once the connection works normally, you can start using it.

4. Follow-Up Plan

This article mainly records the installation and basic configuration process for Cherry Studio. I plan to publish a detailed usage tutorial and practical video later. One current idea is to write an MCP server myself based on LLMs.
