I have been using Google’s Colab to train, but today it stopped working. I init it as usual: ```auto !pip install -U ipython !python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip !pip install rasa[spacy] !python3 -m spacy download en_core_web_md ``` But when I try to execute: ```auto !rasa init --no-prompt ``` I get this error: 2021-11-12 15:51:08.098595: E tensorflow/core/lib/monitoring/collection\_registry.cc:77] Cannot register 2 metrics with the same name: /tensorflow/api/keras/optimizers ---

@bferster please update/upgrade the TensorFlow to the latest version. Rasa recently update the TensorFlow version or please check the tensorflow version using command` pip list` or `conda list` and do check this link for your ref. : [Let's Talk about Tensorflow 2.6 | The Rasa Blog | Rasa](https://rasa.com/blog/let-s-talk-about-tensorflow-2-6/) Note: In some cases this also work:downgrading to TensorFlow 2.5.2 @bfersterFor upgrade: `pip install --upgrade tensorflow` whilst activating your environment. I hope this will solve your issue asap and good luck. ---

Thanks Nik. I had downgraded to Rasa 2.8.0 and that worked, but I update Tensorflow as you suggested and still no luck. It says it’s incompatible with v2.6. Has the Rasa installer been updated? ```auto !pip install -U ipython !pip install rasa[spacy] !pip install --upgrade tensorflow ``` ---

@bferster congratulations ! I even suggested downgrading the TensorFlow, and I hope you saw the above post link? Can you share with me the current rasa version `rasa --version` whilst activating the environment and in the same can you type `pip list` to share the TensorFlow version? @bferster On which configuration of rasa you are able to run and its working can you confirm me please. ---

@bferster Right, I hope Rasa Team is aware of this issue. I would recommend to use rasa 2.8.0 till the major release i.e Rasa 3.0 come, may be these issue will be gone in next release. I hope this will solve you issue for a time being and good luck! ---
