hi

I’m using VS code on my local machine. I am trying to run the C2W4 assignment, however, I am getting this error in the second section:

sign_mnist_train.csv

!gdown --id 1z0DkA9BytlLxO1C0BAWzknLyQmZAp0HR

sign_mnist_test.csv

!gdown --id 1z1BIj4qmri59GWBG4ivMNFtpZ4AXIbzg

/bin/bash: gdown: command not found
/bin/bash: gdown: command not found

Looks like gdown is not defined on my system and it looks like it is not ideal to install it.

Can I just download the Sign Language MNIST:

extract it in the current working directory, and then comment out the above code?

Thank you

Sure you can download the data in the way that is most feasible for your system
The code is meant to run on colab and or jupyter lab in some cases and some functions so need not run well locally

@MayankGhogale is right. You can download the dataset directly.

@Ed_Sykes In case you want to use gdown library you can install using this command.

pip install gdown

Thanks
