What if I’ve already downloaded both llama.cpp and the GGUF model and don’t want to download them again? thanks

    You must keep them in the original maps. as soon as your move the maps out of the original location, the script doesn't recognize them anymore. I already reported this as a feature request to make the config files easier to access: #226

    Could you help me identify the paths it uses on Linux? I'll try placing the copies I already have there. Thanks for your help.

    You can symlink the folder where your downloaded gguf shards are to the location where Strata looks for them, ie ..\Strata-data\models\IQ3_S. Assuming the model you have downloaded previously is the one Strata uses, of course (https://huggingface.co/ISTA-DASLab/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-GSQ-RCO-GGUF).

    Point --models-dir to the location of your model file. This should work. You will need to make sure that your model dir is set up how strata expects.

    You don't need to download the model again: point setup at the folder that already has both GGUF files, START-HERE.bat --setup --gguf-dir <folder> (Linux: ./setup.sh --gguf-dir <folder>). Symlinks work too. The llama.cpp download isn't needed for that. Settings are in ~/.config/strata/settings.json (Linux) or %APPDATA%\Strata\settings.json, data in Strata-data or --data-dir. Closing as answered; reopen if --gguf-dir doesn't pick your files up.
