True offline version

[ask2018]

Hello, it is possible to provide fully offline version or at least URLs to download the data a where to copy them manually? After I run it, it wants to download another 4212 MB of data. I'd like to use this in fully offline environment without internet access and this seems to be not possible in current version.

Connect to the internet to download the model file OR move the model file to the appropriate location, and the app will not try to download the model if it is already available.

If neither of those options work, please feel free to submit a PR.

There is nothing like "connect to internet" in full offline environment so that's not an option. I've tried to download the file https://huggingface.co/Sosaka/Alpaca-native-4bit-ggml/resolve/main/ggml-alpaca-7b-q4.bin I can see in the source and put in inside program folder, but that seems to be not correct location. Program still tried to connect to network. So what is the correct location where to put this? Also it is possible to have it on same drive/folder to make it fully portable and able to run from live DVD system inside virtual machine for example?
