 # Using L2D with HF/LeRobot
 
+For R0, R1 we recommend using `LeRobotDataset`, with `revision=[R0|R1]`, which can be used directly from the pypi release of LeRobot. For R2+, please follow installation [outlined here](https://huggingface.co/blog/lerobot-datasets-v3#install-lerobot-and-record-a-dataset) or install from main as below, as we recommend using [`StreamingLeRobotDataset`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/datasets/streaming_dataset.py#L43) as R3 is is [Dataset v3.0](https://huggingface.co/blog/lerobot-datasets-v3) format.
