Python Could not install packages due to an OSError Errno 2 No such file or directory

Question

I used pip to install sklearn and this error occurred:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\13434\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python37\site-packages\sklearn\datasets\tests\data\openml\292\api-v1-json-data-list-data_name-australian-limit-2-data_version-1-status-deactivated.json.gz'**.

Can someone help?

I also met with the same problem while installing this package. When I searched I got to know about the 260 character limit. Then I followed this guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/266621/how-to-make-windows-10-accept-file-paths-over-260-characters/  for installation and it worked.

I hope this helps.
