Hi.

I am going through the HuggingFace - Sagemaker tutorial that you provide in github. I am working with the notebook 1 : 01\_getting\_started\_pytorch. I am using Sagemaker Studio with the image: _Python 3 (PyTorch 1.6 Python 3.6 CPU Optimized)_

When I try to download the imdb dataset I have this error:

Do someone know how to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Sergio

Hey @Oigres,

which datasets version have you installed?

I tried to reproduce your error but for me it worked with the notebook.

Could you try removing the cache at ` /root/.cache/huggingface`

Hi.

Thank you for you attention. I tried with these versions:

1. Using the “pip install” that come already with the notebook:

`!pip install "sagemaker>=2.48.0" "transformers==4.6.1" "datasets[s3]==1.6.2" --upgrade`

I this case the version installed are: `dataset 1.6.2` and `transformers 4.6.1`

1. Using the “pip install” that is used in the youtube video related to this tutorial:  
!pip install transformers “datasets[s3]” --upgrade

I this case the version installed are: `dataset 4.9.2` and `transformers 1.11.0`

In both cases I got the same error.

I used the notebook as it is with

```auto
!pip install "sagemaker>=2.48.0" "transformers==4.6.1" "datasets[s3]==1.6.2" --upgrade

```

Have you tried restarting the kernel?  
And you might need to use `sudo rm -rf`

Hey.

Thank you very much. You did help me a lot. It was kind of these errors that you can’t find easily over there.

Just a thing: in order to help others, can you edit your answer…? I’m sure that where you wrote: `~/.cache/huggingface` you meant `/root/.cache/huggingface`

MANY THANKS again.

Oigres.
