Where to put Openvino Models on Linux?

Audacity 3 Help Forum GNU/Linux
1

I am using Linux Mint 22.1. I installed Audacity 3.7.1 using snap, as I read the Openvino plugins were compiled into it (which they appeared to be). I followed the instructions on this page under “OpenVINO Models Installation” for downloading and copying over all the necessary models: openvino-plugins-ai-audacity/doc/build_doc/linux/README.md at main · intel/openvino-plugins-ai-audacity · GitHub
When I open Audacity, I don’t get any errors in the log. But when I make a selection and try to use the OpenVino noise reduction, the model chooser doesn’t list any models, and the log has a line:
16:55:54: OpenVINO Noise Suppression has no models installed.

So I feel like I have the models in the wrong place. They are currently in:
/usr/local/lib/openvino-models

as suggested by that tutorial. I’m not familiar with snap, I only installed it specifically to install audacity, but I couldn’t copy the models folder into the similar snap-created directory /snap/audacity/1208/usr/local/lib

I’m not sure where to go from here. Is there another directory those should be in?

I’m an idiot. SOmehow I missed the instructions at the top of the page to use:

sudo audacity.fetch-models --batch

Which I’m assuming now is the correct way to install the models…
