Location of models is ambiguous #38

Closed 3dluvr closed 1 year ago

3dluvr commented 1 year ago

Personally I like to know where external files are stored on my system and even though I'm trying bark within a VENV it is not clear where the models are downloaded to.

It would be "nice" to have models stored inside a models/ folder within the root of the project, rather than some black hole location that is created from the S3 download.

I see there is an option to set ENV variables for the paths to the models, but that is not documented in your README, and one has to be dissecting your code to find their references.
