Step 1 : Use Hugging Face Access Token

1. Go to Hugging Face Tokens Page.
2. Create a new token (choose read access).
3. Copy the token.

Now run in PowerShell:

git clone <https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-3-270m>

When prompted for username and password:

• Username → your Hugging Face username (or just hf_user)
• Password → paste your access token (not your real password)

NOTE : Make sure you have authorized access to use this model in hugging face , hence you will get the below restricted message.

Once authorized you will have the proper access to the model and it works well as shown below.

This creates a folder:

gemma-3-270m/
