You can fetch the latest snapshots via the URLs provided in the [Base docs](https://docs.base.org/guides/run-a-base-node/#snapshots).

The tar'd directory structure (for mainnet) looks like: `snapshots/mainnet/download/geth` and the snapshots directory (as opposed to the child geth directory) is meant to exist in the root of the geth data directory. The geth data directory is set by the `GETH_HOST_DATA_DIR` env var, which can be set in the .env file.
