Issue in Loading Data in Overview of MEG/EEG with MNE-Python

Hi,
I just got introduced to MNE and was trying to execute the code in Jupyter notebook for the overview of MEG/EEG with MNE-Python.
I encountered the following error.
Code:

sample_data_folder = mne.datasets.sample.data_path()
sample_data_raw_file = os.path.join(sample_data_folder, 'MEG', 'sample',
                                    'sample_audvis_filt-0-40_raw.fif')
raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(sample_data_raw_file)

Error:
Using default location ~/mne_data for sample...
