Is there a command to pre-download models to local?

[SimZhou]

Hi, I am trying to make a docker image to use Whisper, So I need to pre-download those models into the docker images when building the Dockerfile.

is there a single command I could use to download those models?

Answer in #789 (comment)

There was a PR to add a command, but to keep the repo minimal, it was recommended to do something like this:

python -c "import whisper; print(whisper._download(whisper._MODELS['tiny'], '$HOME/.cache/whisper', False))"

(Assuming you're on Linux.)
