Can i specify dataset path in datasetclass?

[epsilon-deltta]

import dataset
arxdt = dataset.ArxivDataset()

In this, this default saved path is /home/$username/.cache/huggingface/datasets/summertime_arxiv. Can I specify a certain path when downloading and loading the dataset?

Can I specify a certain path when downloading and loading the dataset?

@epsilon-deltta You can create an environment variable HF_HOME specifying where you want .cache. i.e. export HF_HOME=path/to/somewhere/.cache

@epsilon-deltta Do you want to change the path for only a certain dataset or for all datasets?

@troyfeng116 thank you. I solved my problem cuz of you 😁😁. But, i hoped to change the path in the programming level, not the system level. I mean like this

import dataset
arxdt = dataset.ArxivDataset(path = path/to/somewhere) # default is ~/.cache/huggingface/datasets
