This error message is popping during installation.

Command used: pip install s3transfer

Python Version: 3.6 pip version: 20.1.1

I have already copied metadata.json in METADATA folder but still no solution.

Hi @sudhirsilwal23, it appears something is wrong with your installation. METADATA is a text file, not a directory, so it should never be able to house a metadata.json file. We'd recommend uninstalling s3transfer completely and trying again, or starting with a fresh virtualenv.
