Invalid pattern: '**' can only be an entire path component
I couldn't reproduce the issue on my side on MacOS, I guess the issue comes from the recent `fsspec` on Windows.

Can you try downgrading to `fsspec==2023.9.2` for now ? It would also be great to investigate this and see if we need a fix in `datasets` or `fsspec` I had the same issue!  
Downgrading to fsspec from 2023.10.0 to 2023.9.2 solved it for me.

(env: python 3.11.7, datasets version: 2.15.0, Windows 10 22H2, Build 19045.4170)

Thanks a lot! Ubuntu 20.04  had the same issue
python 3.9

ValueError: Invalid pattern: '**' can only be an entire path component on ubuntu you just need to have the latest `datasets` and `fsspec`

```
pip install -U datasets fsspec
``` The issue was caused by an incompatibility between the versions of `datasets`, `huggingface-hub` and `fsspec`.

The issue was fixed in:
- huggingface-hub-0.21.2: https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/pull/2056
- and datasets-2.18.0: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6687
  - datasets-2.19.1 fixed the minimum requirement huggingface-hub  >= 0.21.2: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6713 @albertvillanova, thank you for this solution. I encountered the same issue and had to use:
```
conda install -c conda-forge huggingface_hub=0.21.2 datasets=2.19.1
```

Cheers Cheers！
