## Downloading instruction
### Command line
Firstly, install Huggingface Client
```shell
pip install -U "huggingface_hub[cli]"
```
Then, downoad the individual model file the a local directory
```shell
huggingface-cli download tensorblock/granite-guardian-3.0-8b-GGUF --include "granite-guardian-3.0-8b-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:
```shell
huggingface-cli download tensorblock/granite-guardian-3.0-8b-GGUF --local-dir MY_LOCAL_DIR --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
```
