PyABSA Version 2 not working- RuntimeError: Exception: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType Fail to load the model from multilingual!

[roses2204]

Version
PyABSA version 2.4.1.post1

Describe the bug
I have installed PyABSA and tried to run the examples, but I keep getting the error that the Runtime wrror that the model has failed to load. I have tried version 1, and this works, but none of the version 2 packages have worked. How do I go about solving this?

Code To Reproduce
pip install -U pyabsa

from pyabsa import AspectTermExtraction as ATEPC, available_checkpoints

you can view all available checkpoints by calling available_checkpoints()

checkpoint_map = available_checkpoints()

aspect_extractor = ATEPC.AspectExtractor('multilingual',
auto_device=True, # False means load model on CPU
cal_perplexity=True,
)

instance inference

aspect_extractor.predict(['I love this movie, it is so great!'],
save_result=True,
print_result=True, # print the result
ignore_error=True, # ignore the error when the model cannot predict the input
)

inference_source = ATEPC.ATEPCDatasetList.Restaurant16
atepc_result = aspect_extractor.batch_predict(target_file=inference_source, #
save_result=True,
print_result=True, # print the result
pred_sentiment=True, # Predict the sentiment of extracted aspect terms
)

print(atepc_result)

Expected behavior
This was expected to run and provide the sentiment classifications, but when run, the execution always fails with this error:

RuntimeError: Exception: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType Fail to load the model from multilingual!

132 "Exception: {} Fail to load the model from {}! ".format(
133 e, self.checkpoint
134 )
135 )
137 if not hasattr(ATEPCModelList, self.model.class.name):
138 raise KeyError(
139 "The checkpoint you are loading is not from any ATEPC model."
140 )

I have tried a number of things, including downloading the checkpoint, but I'm now not sure how to get this to work.
