I am trying to import downloaded MNIST data to Jupyter Notebook, but when I try to run the code, it says that it doesn't have permissions.
How do I solve the problem?
pip install python-mnist
from mnist import MNIST
mndata = MNIST('C:\\Users\\username\\path\\to\\the\\samples')
images, labels = mndata.load_training()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
