Downloading the public data sets and store them in the besca installation directory may be a problem if the downloading user does not have permissions to wirte into the installation directory, for example, if the besca installation is shared or if it is within a docker container.
see functions https://github.com/bedapub/besca/blob/4c7f7f1a92de2bc6c61b177e8fe6d0d16bb23d1d/besca/datasets/_datasets.py
workaround: provide option so that the user can specify an alternative path to the besca installation directory.
