Hi Kendric

you can overwrite the default cp2k/data folder path defined at compilation 
time by

   - setting the environment variable CP2K_DATA_DIR to your local data 
   folder path
   - defining the full path for each data file in your CP2K input file
   - copying the data files like BASIS_SETS to the current working directory
