ERROR: 'sklearn' PyPI package is deprecated, use 'scikit-learn'

[Ascalon98]

Hi! I am trying to install VarCrust with the command that is provided in the sofware description, but I am getting this error message:

"Collecting sklearn (from VarClust==0.2.4) Using cached sklearn-0.0.post12.tar.gz (2.6 kB) Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error

python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully. exit code: 1

[15 lines of output] The 'sklearn' PyPI package is deprecated, use 'scikit-learn' rather than 'sklearn' for pip commands.

Here is how to fix this error in the main use cases:

• use 'pip install scikit-learn' rather than 'pip install sklearn'
• replace 'sklearn' by 'scikit-learn' in your pip requirements files (requirements.txt, setup.py, setup.cfg, Pipfile, etc ...)
• if the 'sklearn' package is used by one of your dependencies, it would be great if you take some time to track which package uses 'sklearn' instead of 'scikit-learn' and report it to their issue tracker

• as a last resort, set the environment variable SKLEARN_ALLOW_DEPRECATED_SKLEARN_PACKAGE_INSTALL=True to avoid this error

  More information is available at https://github.com/scikit-learn/sklearn-pypi-package [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. error: metadata-generation-failed

Encountered error while generating package metadata.

See above for output."

I am not familiar with python. How can I solve this problem?

Hi! Could you try it again? I have just updated the dependency to the non-deprecated 'scikit-learn' package.

Thank you! It worked.
