import os.path as osp

You can choose to change the download directory to any path of your choice. If the path/folder doesn’t exist, it will be created for you.
original_path = get_config("MNE_DATA")
print(f"The download directory is currently {original_path}")
new_path = osp.join(osp.expanduser("~"), "mne_data_test")
set_download_dir(new_path)
You could verify that the MNE config has been changed correctly
check_path = get_config("MNE_DATA")
print(f"Now the download directory has been changed to {check_path}")
Set the directory back to default location
set_download_dir(original_path)
