Hi All,

Our IT team says we cannot have docker on the VM, How can I deploy RASA on a dedicated VM without using docker.

I know that this is not recommend but this is what I need right now. Could you also share some the reasons why this is not recommended so that I can give them a good heads up …

Thanks
