Hi all. Because Rasa uses Tensorflow we’ve been experiencing some pip-related hardship getting installations to work on the new apple M1 macbooks. I think we’ve found a temporary workaround for the situation, but it’s important to emphesize that this workaround is very much temporary. Hopefully, these steps won’t be needed in the future when the Tensorflow/pip incompatibilities are adressed. An unofficial guide to getting Rasa to work on a M1 Macbook. What follows below is a step-by-step guide that explains how I got Rasa to work on a M1 Macbook Air. These steps seem to work on MacOS Montery v12.0.1. If you use an ealier version of the operating system you’ll likely need to upgrade. This guide was written on Feb 14th 2021. While we might try to keep this thread up-to-date, it is likely that things might change depending on the Tensorflow support for these devices. Step One: System Dependencies First, you’ll want to install some base dependencies for your operating system. We will use brew for this. If you don’t have brew installed you can do so by running: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" The script explains what it will do and then pauses before it does it. Once brew is installed you can install the required system dependencies. brew install libpq libxml2 libxmlsec1 pkg-config postgresql Step Two: Conda Next, we will install conda to deal with our dependencies. We will follow the steps that are described here as a reference. You can install conda by downloading this file and running it locally via; chmod +x ~/Downloads/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh sh ~/Downloads/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh source ~/miniforge3/bin/activate This will activate an environment that is maintained by conda. That means that conda is able to handle our Tensorflow dependencies from here on. Conda does not work with requirements.txt files that you may be familiar with from pip. Instead we will use a env.yml file. Here’s the one that will use: channels: - apple - conda-forge dependencies: - python==3.8.12 - dask==2021.11.2 - tensorflow-deps==2.6.0 - numpy>=1.19.2, =1.4.1, =0.22,<0.25 - matplotlib==3.5.1 - pip - pip: - absl-py==0.13.0 - aio-pika==6.8.1 - aiofiles==0.8.0 - aioredis==2.0.1 - aioresponses==0.7.2 - aiormq==3.3.1 - anyio==3.4.0 - APScheduler==3.7.0 - async-generator==1.10 - async-timeout==4.0.2 - aiohttp==3.8.1 - httpcore==0.11.1 - httplib2==0.20.2 - httptools==0.3.0 - httpx==0.15.4 - bidict==0.21.4 - blinker==1.4 - boto3==1.20.28 - botocore==1.23.28 - CacheControl==0.12.10 - cachy==0.3.0 - certifi==2021.10.8 - chardet==4.0.0 - clang==5.0 - cleo==0.8.1 - clikit==0.6.2 - colorama==0.4.4 - colorclass==2.2.2 - coloredlogs==15.0.1 - colorhash==1.0.4 - crashtest==0.3.1 - croniter==1.1.0 - cytoolz==0.11.2 - decorator==5.1.0 - defusedxml==0.7.1 - distlib==0.3.4 - dm-tree==0.1.6 - docopt==0.6.2 - fakeredis==1.7.0 - fbmessenger==6.0.0 - filelock==3.4.2 - fire==0.4.0 - flatbuffers==1.12 - freezegun==1.1.0 - future==0.18.2 - gitdb==4.0.9 - GitPython==3.1.3 - google-auth==2.3.3 - google-pasta==0.2.0 - h11==0.9.0 - HeapDict==1.0.1 - html5lib==1.1 - humanfriendly==10.0 - isodate==0.6.1 - jmespath==0.10.0 - jsonpickle==2.0.0 - jsonschema==3.2.0 - kafka-python==2.0.2 - keyring==21.8.0 - locket==0.2.0 - lockfile==0.12.2 - lxml==4.7.1 - mattermostwrapper==2.2 - mock==4.0.3 - multidict==5.0.0 - munkres==1.1.4 - mypy_extensions==0.4.3 - networkx==2.6.3 - oauth2client==4.1.3 - onelogin==2.0.2 - packaging==20.9 - pamqp==2.3.0 - pastel==0.2.1 - pexpect==4.8.0 - pika==1.2.0 - pkgconfig==1.5.5 - pkginfo==1.8.2 - platformdirs==2.4.1 - poetry==1.1.12 - poetry-core==1.0.7 - prompt-toolkit==2.0.10 - protobuf==3.19.1 - psycopg2-binary==2.9.3 - ptyprocess==0.7.0 - pyasn1==0.4.8 - pyasn1-modules==0.2.7 - pydot==1.4.2 - pykwalify==1.8.0 - pylev==1.4.0 - pymongo==3.10.1 - pyrsistent==0.18.0 - pyTelegramBotAPI==3.8.3 - python-crfsuite==0.9.7 - python-engineio==4.3.0 - python-socketio==5.5.0 - python3-saml==1.12.0 - questionary==1.10.0 - randomname==0.1.5 - redis==3.5.3 - regex==2021.8.28 - rfc3986==1.5.0 - rocketchat-API==1.16.0 - ruamel.yaml==0.16.13 - ruamel.yaml.clib==0.2.2 - s3transfer==0.5.0 - sanic==21.6.0 - sanic-jwt==1.7.0 - sanic-plugin-toolkit==1.2.1 - sanic-routing==0.7.0 - sanic-cors==1.0.0 - sentry-sdk==1.3.1 - shellingham==1.4.0 - simple-image-download==0.2 - sklearn-crfsuite==0.3.6 - slackclient==2.9.3 - smmap==5.0.0 - sniffio==1.2.0 - SQLAlchemy==1.4.29 - tabulate==0.8.9 - tarsafe==0.0.3 - tensorboard==2.7.0 - tensorflow-estimator==2.6.0 - tensorflow-hub==0.12.0 - tensorflow-macos==2.6.0 - tensorflow-metal==0.3.0 - tensorflow-probability==0.13.0 - termcolor==1.1.0 - terminaltables==3.1.10 - tfa-nightly==0.16.0.dev20220103155136 - tomlkit==0.8.0 - tqdm==4.62.3 - twilio==6.50.1 - typeguard==2.13.3 - typing-utils==0.1.0 - tzlocal==2.1 - ujson==4.3.0 - uvloop==0.14.0 - virtualenv==20.13.0 - wcwidth==0.2.5 - webencodings==0.5.1 - webexteamssdk==1.6 - websockets==9.1 - zict==2.0.0 - requests-toolbelt==0.9.1 - requests==2.26.0 - requests-oauthlib==1.3.0 - requests-toolbelt==0.9.1 Given such an env.yml file, we can create a new environment. We’ll use the rasatest name for the environment. conda env create -v --name rasatest -f env.yml Once these dependencies are installed we can active our environment. conda activate rasatest Step Three: Rasa At the time of writing this tutorial you’ll need to install the Rasa dependencies manually from git. The versions shown below have been tested beforehand and seem to work! pip install git+https://github.com/vpol/text.git --no-deps pip install git+https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa-sdk@3.0.2 --no-deps pip install git+https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa.git@3.0.4 --no-deps Once that is finished you should be able to run Rasa! python -m rasa --version python -m rasa init python -m rasa train

I was able to successfully complete the workaround as far as I can tell. However, I’m running into an issue when attempting to start rasa using an existing model (or train a new one). Could not load model due to dlopen(/Users/abriel/miniforge3/envs/rasa-venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow_text/python/metrics/_text_similarity_metric_ops.so, 0x0006): tried: '/Users/abriel/miniforge3/envs/rasa-venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow_text/python/metrics/_text_similarity_metric_ops.so' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/_text_similarity_metric_ops.so' (no such file), '/usr/lib/_text_similarity_metric_ops.so' (no such file). /Users/abriel/miniforge3/envs/rasa-venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rasa/shared/utils/io.py:97: UserWarning: The model at 'models' could not be loaded.

Load default agent without any model.

It seems to complain about tensorflow-text missing. From my own experience this is one of the Rasa dependencies for which no ARM-wheels exist, neither from Pypi, Conda, or any Github repo. It seems though that the ConveRT Featurizer is the only Rasa component that relies on that dependency: rasa/convert_featurizer.py at main · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub Do you happen to use it in your model?

ConveRTFeaturizer is indeed used in the pipeline.

Hi Vincent, This is awesome! I followed the guide step-by-step, and training runs smoothly through on my MacBook Max. Unfortunately, training takes more than 10x longer compared to my old, Intel-based MacBook Pro: 71 instead of 5 minutes.

Many thanks, Markus

Its working for me using rasa version 2.8.27 pip install git+https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa-sdk@2.8.0 --no-deps pip install git+https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa@2.8.27 --no-deps Is working for Rasa X too? Thanks for the Guide :smiley:

If you comment out tensorflow-metal then the training times become reasonable again. So the M1 GPU seems to be doing more harm than good, which is disappointing. (And thanks to @khalo-sa for the repo - really helpful for running newer versions)

@benohear - thanks so much! Now my MacBook Pro M1 Max is c. 2.5x faster than its Intel predecessor (instead of 10x slower).

Thanks for the guide, very helpful indeed. I use Mac 12.3.1 with an Apple M1 chip, and trying to run one of the examples from Rasa repo. I get an error on the training phase which relates to Sanic package. Anybody has a clue about the valid packages composition? Error: ImportError: cannot import name 'ResponseStream' from 'sanic.response' The error happens on /rasa/rasa/core/channels/rest.py Prompt: ? Please enter a path where the project will be created [default: current directory] ? Directory '/Users/benmalka/Documents/git/rasa/examples/reminderbot' is not empty. Continue? Yes Created project directory at '/Users/benmalka/Documents/git/rasa/examples/reminderbot'. Finished creating project structure. ? Do you want to train an initial model? 💪🏽 Yes Training an initial model... *Error starts here* Have also tried to install sanic 21.9.3 and 20.12.3 as well, but environment setup fails on dependency conflict for websockets package.

@mho I’m seeing the same increase in training time on my side. Taking about 140s per iteration on about 10,000 examples.

CPU is at 246%… Not even sure what to make of that!
