I have tried installing tensorflow in the terminal as well as Pycharm and Jupiter Notebook. I am running the terminal as administrator (Windows). I have updated to the latest version of pip. This is the error message that comes up:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\site-packages\tensorflow\include\external\com_github_grpc_grpc\src\core\ext\filters\client_channel\lb_policy\grpclb\client_load_reporting_filter.h' HINT: This error might have occurred since this system does not have Windows Long Path support enabled. You can find information on how to enable this at https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/enable-long-paths

I have gone to the URL suggested and am at a complete loss of how to fix this. Any advice would be appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

The problem is that the file path you mention is longer than the maximum path length MAX_PATH, defined as 260 characters.

To fix this, open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command:

New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem" `
-Name "LongPathsEnabled" -Value 1 -PropertyType DWORD -Force
