pip3 install wheel from artifactory gives oserror

I deployed a wheel file to an artifactory repository using the following code:

def upload_wheel(artifactory_path: ArtifactoryPath, wheel_path: Path):
    metadata = extract_wheel_metadata(wheel_path)  # get metadata from wheel
    pkg_name = metadata['Name']
#create parent folder
    folder_to_create = artifactory_path / pkg_name / metadata['Version']
    folder_to_create.mkdir(parents=True)

#deploy file
    folder_to_create.deploy_file(wheel_path)

    deployed_file = folder_to_create / wheel_path.name

    add_props(deployed_file, metadata)

When I pip install the wheel file (after making changes to the pip.conf file), it shows searching through the repository and gives me the following error:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/user/filename.whl'

Any idea why this is happening? When i place the file in the directory it installs it without any issues. Is it because of the way I am deploying it?

Solution

This was solved by passing the URL to the pip install followed by the whl file.

pip install URL\filename.whl
