I created a file nlu\_config.yml for configuration and nlu.md for data. I am trying to train the machine. I ran the following command:

**cmd:** python -m rasa\_nlu.train -c /Users/manojkumarteluguntla/Downloads/nlu\_config.yml.rtf --data nlu.md -o models --fixed\_model\_name nlu --project current --verbose

I am getting this error. I am unable to solve this. I request someone to help me out in this issue.

**Error:** Traceback (most recent call last): File “/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/runpy.py”, line 162, in \_run\_module\_as\_main “ **main** ”, fname, loader, pkg\_name) File “/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/runpy.py”, line 72, in \_run\_code exec code in run\_globals File “/Users/manojkumarteluguntla/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/rasa\_nlu/train.py”, line 177, in do\_train(config.load(cmdline\_args.config), File “/Users/manojkumarteluguntla/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/rasa\_nlu/config.py”, line 47, in load “’{}’.
