Nice. Would be good to mention that the data file itself will not be checked in to git, but rather by dvc, so it is present in .gitignore.

Hi [deleted user], have you imported the dataset to your local machine using `dvc get`? As in:

```auto
$ dvc get https://github.com/iterative/aita_dataset aita_clean.csv

```

I can’t tell if you’ve done this step yet. If you didn’t, then the file won’t be in your local workspace and pandas won’t be able to import it. After doing `dvc get`, you should be able to open Python and run

```auto
df = pd.read_csv("aita_clean.csv")

```

Also, you might be interested in the DVC python API- you can do `dvc.api.open` to load the file from DVC storage directly to your Python environment [https://dvc.org/doc/api-reference/open#:~:text=Description,by%20DVC%20or%20by%20Git.](https://dvc.org/doc/api-reference/open#:~:text=Description,by%20DVC%20or%20by%20Git.)
