Hey all,

Trying to get up with the installation for the quickstart, following these steps after activating the virtual environment:

## pip

The most straightforward way to install 🤗 Datasets is with pip:

```auto
> pip install datasets
> 
> Run the following command to check if 🤗 Datasets has been properly installed:
> 
> python -c "from datasets import load_dataset; print(load_dataset('squad', split='train')[0])"

```

However I am getting:

```auto
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'datasets'

```

I am on a M1 Macbook. Any ideas why this could occur?
