#### Fetching models and tokenizers to use offline
When running a script the first time like mentioned above, the downloaded files will be cached for future reuse.
However, it is also possible to download files and point to their local path instead.
Downloading files can be done through the Web Interface by clicking on the "Download" button, but it can also be handled
programmatically using the `huggingface_hub` library that is a dependency to `transformers`:
- Using `snapshot_download` to download an entire repository
- Using `hf_hub_download` to download a specific file
See the reference for these methods in the huggingface_hub
[documentation](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/tree/main/src/huggingface_hub).
