# What does this PR do?
currently the "default" dir for external providers is
`/etc/llama-stack/providers.d`
This dir is not used anywhere nor created.
Switch to a more friendly `~/.llama/providers.d/`
This allows external providers to actually create this dir and/or
populate it upon installation, `pip` cannot create directories in `etc`.
If a user does not specify a dir, default to this one
