# `sklearn.datasets`.get_data_home

sklearn.datasets.get_data_home(data_home=None) → str

  Return the path of the scikit-learn data directory.

  This folder is used by some large dataset loaders to avoid downloading the data several times.

  By default the data directory is set to a folder named ‘scikit_learn_data’ in the user home folder.

  Alternatively, it can be set by the ‘SCIKIT_LEARN_DATA’ environment variable or programmatically by giving an explicit folder path. The ‘~’ symbol is expanded to the user home folder.

  If the folder does not already exist, it is automatically created.

  Parameters:
    data_home str or path-like, default=None

      The path to scikit-learn data directory. If `None`, the default path is `~/scikit_learn_data`.

  Returns:
    data_home: str

      The path to scikit-learn data directory.
