   bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winfredy/OpenTalker/main/scripts/download_models.sh)

   For Windows, you can download all the checkpoints here.

3.2. Option 2: Set the path of SADTALKTER_CHECKPOINTS in webui_user.sh(linux) or webui_user.bat(windows) by:

> only works if you are directly starting webui from `webui_user.sh` or `webui_user.bat`.

```bash
# Windows (webui_user.bat)
set SADTALKER_CHECKPOINTS=D:\SadTalker\checkpoints

# Linux/macOS (webui_user.sh)
export SADTALKER_CHECKPOINTS=/path/to/SadTalker/checkpoints
```
