Use my own directory

[minkyujeon]

Hello, I downloaded the data myself and define the global variable.
However, I got this log for every iterations during training.

2025-08-27 21:36:56,517 | pinder.core.utils.cloud:375 | INFO : Gsutil process_many=download_to_filename, threads=2, items=2

How can I solve this?

Thank you!

Hi @minkyujeon , which pinder methods are you using for training and which environment variables did you set?

You'll want to make sure the get_pinder_location function returns a path to where you expect the dataset to be located.

from pinder.core import get_pinder_location
get_pinder_location()

pinder/src/pinder-core/pinder/core/index/utils.py

Lines 30 to 56 in 20487ac

	def get_pinder_location() -> Path:
	"""
	Determines the base directory location for the Pinder data.
	First, check the environment for PINDER_DATA_DIR. If provided, assume
	it is the full path to the directory containing the index, pdbs/, and mappings/.
	Otherwise, the PINDER_BASE_DIR environment variable is checked, and if unset,
	falls back to the default XDG_DATA_HOME location (~/.local/share), and
	appends the current version of the Pinder release. The Pinder release can be
	controlled via the PINDER_RELEASE environment variable.
	Returns:
	Path: The path to the base directory for Pinder data.
	"""
	pinder_data = os.environ.get("PINDER_DATA_DIR", "")
	default_loc = os.environ.get("XDG_DATA_HOME", Path.home() / ".local/share")
	if pinder_data:
	pinder_base = Path(pinder_data)
	else:
	base_dir = os.environ.get("PINDER_BASE_DIR", default_loc)
	pinder_release = os.environ.get("PINDER_RELEASE", "2024-02")
	if isinstance(base_dir, str):
	base_dir = Path(base_dir)
	pinder_base = base_dir.absolute() / "pinder" / pinder_release
	if not pinder_base.is_dir():
	pinder_base.mkdir(exist_ok=True, parents=True)
	log.debug(f"Pinder is located at {pinder_base}")
