	cross-platform library and in particular to work correctly on both Unix-based and Windows
	systems. However, there are a few cases where <code>huggingface_hub</code> has some limitations when
	run on Windows. Here is an exhaustive list of known issues. Please let us know if you
	encounter any undocumented problem by opening <a href="https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/issues/new/choose" rel="nofollow">an issue on Github</a>.</p> <ul data-svelte-h="svelte-1p3qyyh"><li><code>huggingface_hub</code>’s cache system relies on symlinks to efficiently cache files downloaded
	from the Hub. On Windows, you must activate developer mode or run your script as admin to
	enable symlinks. If they are not activated, the cache-system still works but in an non-optimized
	manner. Please read <a href="./guides/manage-cache#limitations">the cache limitations</a> section for more details.</li> <li>Filepaths on the Hub can have special characters (e.g. <code>"path/to?/my/file"</code>). Windows is
	more restrictive on <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/intl/character-sets-used-in-file-names" rel="nofollow">special characters</a>
	which makes it impossible to download those files on Windows. Hopefully this is a rare case.
	Please reach out to the repo owner if you think this is a mistake or to us to figure out
	a solution.</li></ul> <h2 class="relative group"><a id="next-steps" class="header-link block pr-1.5 text-lg no-hover:hidden with-hover:absolute with-hover:p-1.5 with-hover:opacity-0 with-hover:group-hover:opacity-100 with-hover:right-full" href="#next-steps"><span><svg class="" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" aria-hidden="true" role="img" width="1em" height="1em" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" viewBox="0 0 256 256"><path d="M167.594 88.393a8.001 8.001 0 0 1 0 11.314l-67.882 67.882a8 8 0 1 1-11.314-11.315l67.882-67.881a8.003 8.003 0 0 1 11.314 0zm-28.287 84.86l-28.284 28.284a40 40 0 0 1-56.567-56.567l28.284-28.284a8 8 0 0 0-11.315-11.315l-28.284 28.284a56 56 0 0 0 79.196 79.197l28.285-28.285a8 8 0 1 0-11.315-11.314zM212.852 43.14a56.002 56.002 0 0 0-79.196 0l-28.284 28.284a8 8 0 1 0 11.314 11.314l28.284-28.284a40 40 0 0 1 56.568 56.567l-28.285 28.285a8 8 0 0 0 11.315 11.314l28.284-28.284a56.065 56.065 0 0 0 0-79.196z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></span></a> <span>Next steps</span></h2> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-1rx2h0e">Once <code>huggingface_hub</code> is properly installed on your machine, you might want
