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/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B-GGUF --include "Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B-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/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B-GGUF --local-dir MY_LOCAL_DIR --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
