Changing Stanza model directory for pyinstaller executable

I have an application that analyses text looking for keywords using natural language processing.
I created an executable and it works fine on my computer.
I've sent it to a friend but in his computer he gets an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Main.py", line 15, in <module>
  File "Menu.py", line 349, in main_menu

stanza.pipeline.core.ResourcesFileNotFoundError: Resources file not found at: C:\Users\jpovoas\stanza_resources\resources.json  Try to download the model again.
[26408] Failed to execute script 'Main' due to unhandled exception!

It's looking for resources.json inside a folder in his computer. Even though I've added stanza as a hidden import with pyinstaller.

I'm using a model in another language, as opposed to the default one in english. The model is located in a folder inside the User folder.

The thing is, I don't want the end user to have to download the model separatedly.

I've managed to include the model folder with --add-data C:\Users\Laila\stanza_resources\pt;Stanza" when creating the executable.

It still looks for the model's json file inside the stanza_resources folder that's should be inside the User folder of whoever is using the program.

How do I tell stanza to look for the model inside the executable folder generated instead?

Can I just add stanza.download("language") in my script? If so how do I change stanza's model download folder? I want it to be downloaded into a folder inside the same directory as the executable. How do I do that?

pyinstaller python

Edit: It would be possible to change the location of the model download by doing the following:

stanza.download("pt", model_dir=...)

It wouldn't be the ideal solution for me though, because I'd like to avoid having to download the model again.

I solved it by passing a value to the model_dir argument when making a pipeline:

npl = stanza.Pipeline(lang='Pt', model_dir='.\\Stanza')

Inside the folder called Stanza I've placed both the model folder (in this case "pt") and the resources.json file.

You can try downloading that JSON file.
Here is an snippet for the same.

import urllib.request

json_url = "http://LINK_TO_YOUR_JSON/resources.json"

urllib.request.urlretrieve(json_url, "./resources.json")
