move llmware base directory

[c-w-m]

Problem: I'm running out of storage on my primary drive

Suggested fix: allow an environment variable to set the base path

Example Refactor: llmware\llmware\configs.py

• use LLMWARE_BASE_PATH environment variable to set _base_fp
• revert to using the existing USERPROFILE path if directory does not exist

Hi @c-w-m,

thank you for that feature request! I think it is definitely something that should be at least considered to be implemented.

@c-w-m - could you please take a look at the LLMWareConfig class in configs.py - it provides a variety of options for setting the home path and where artifacts are stored locally - I am copying and pasting the relevant config parameters below found in this file:

class LLMWareConfig:

    """LLMWare global configuration object - use set/get to update """

    if platform.system() == "Windows":

        _base_fp = {"home_path": os.environ.get("USERPROFILE"),
                    "llmware_path_name": "llmware_data" + os.sep}
    else:
        _base_fp = {"home_path": os.environ.get("HOME"),
                    "llmware_path_name": "llmware_data" + os.sep}

    _fp = {"model_repo_path_name": "model_repo" + os.sep,
           "library_path_name": "accounts" + os.sep,
           "input_path_name": "input_channel" + os.sep,
           "parser_path_name": "parser_history" + os.sep,
           "query_path_name": "query_history" + os.sep,
           "prompt_path_name": "prompt_history" + os.sep,
           "tmp_path_name": "tmp" + os.sep}

To set the parameter: LLMWareConfig().set_home("/new/path/") or by setting the os.environ variable.

Please confirm back if this resolves/advances the issue ...
