Downloading instruction
Command line
Firstly, install Huggingface Client
pip install -U "huggingface_hub[cli]"
Then, downoad the individual model file the a local directory
huggingface-cli download tensorblock/Llama3.1-8B-ShiningValiant2-GGUF --include "Llama3.1-8B-ShiningValiant2-Q2_K.gguf" --local-dir MY_LOCAL_DIR
If you wanna download multiple model files with a pattern (e.g., *Q4_K*gguf), you can try:
huggingface-cli download tensorblock/Llama3.1-8B-ShiningValiant2-GGUF --local-dir MY_LOCAL_DIR --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
