Hi everybody! I installed Rasa on my new apple M1 (MacBook Pro/Big Sur 11.0.1), and get the following problem when using any Rasa command (init, train, …): zsh: illegal hardware instruction rasa init (train/…) I attached the associated console crash report. The problem seems to be related to libtensorflow_framework.2.dylib I would be very appreciative of your help. Thank you, Matthias WindowServer_2020-12-11-100548.diag.rtf (89.4 KB)

Hi @osterhult, sorry for the delay, I have taken this on and am working on a branch, but among other things I had some hurdles updating to Big Sur (without which I could not install tensorflow_macos). I will update this when I have more information.

@fkoerner thank you. :slight_smile: Let me know if there is anything I could to help out.

@fkoerner hey there… any news? just wondering :slight_smile:

Also still curious about this. Thanks!

Hi @osterhult, @Chris98106 sorry for the delay again, I have been trying to get this to work but unfortunately it seems that using tensorflow-macos is not possible due to the tensorflow version the branch is based on. The tensorflow-macos version is based on r2.4rc0, which is incompatible with current rasa (module attributes have changed since the last rasa-compatible version 2.3). We’ve looked into updating the tensorflow dependency for rasa, but cannot due to a bug on the tensorflow side. There’s an issue for the bug here. If tensorflow-macos expands support to other tensorflow versions, or the above bug is fixed, the situation may change, in which case I will be happy to give this another shot. Thank you for your patience with this!

Hi All, I am curious if I would use docker on mac and run rasa on debian inside the docker will it work on mac with M1? Endre

Hi @endreb, I imagine this will work, though you won’t be using the compute capability of the chip.

Hi, Reading this thread and wondering how would folks recommend I install Rasa on an M1 with Big Sur these days? According to the Python docs, 3.8.x is not fully supported on macOS 11, but the Rasa installation states it needs between version 3.6 and 3.8 (not 3.9.1). Also there are the tensor flow issues on Apple Silicon I see mentioned above. Is there a best practise, or is it best to wait and use an Intel machine with a different OS for now?

Hi @lostinlogic, I think you’re best off using the other machine.
