Can Not read installed dataset in dataset.load(.)
You can download the dataset locally using [huggingface_hub.snapshot_download](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/v0.34.3/en/package_reference/file_download#huggingface_hub.snapshot_download) and then do

```python
dataset = load_dataset(local_directory_path)

It's good suggestion, but my server env is network restriction. It can not directly fetch data from huggingface. I spent lot of time to download and transfer it to the server.
So, I attempt to make load_dataset connect to my local dataset.   Just Solved it few day before. Will post solution later...
also thanks folks quick reply..
Hi, folks, I'm newbie in huggingface dataset api.
As title, i'm facing the issue that the dataset.load api can not connect to the installed dataset.
