Error installing rasa due to tensorflow

Getting Started with Rasa
1

Hey there, I was trying to install rasa on my windows 10 machine using PyCharm 2020.1 community edition without much success. Python version 3.8.2.
When I type pip install rasa on the terminal, the output is:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow<2.2,>=2.1 (from rasa)
 (from versions: 2.2.0rc1, 2.2.0rc2, 2.2.0rc3, 2.2.0rc4, 2.2.0)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow<2.2,>=2.1 (from rasa). </p>

If I type pip install rasa==1.10.0 instead, the error message is the folowing: 

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow<2.2,>=2.1 (from rasa=
=1.10.0) (from versions: 2.2.0rc1, 2.2.0rc2, 2.2.0rc3, 2.2.0rc4, 2.2.0)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow<2.2,>=2.1 (from rasa==1.10.0)

Running pip freeze returns that I have TensorFlow installed already.

tensorboard==2.2.1
tensorboard-plugin-wit==1.6.0.post3
tensorflow==2.2.0
tensorflow-estimator==2.2.0

I’m a bit confused about how to proceed from here. Shall I maybe try a different IDE? Could it be my virtual env? Suggestions?

Hi Lais,

when you’re posting errors on the forum it may help to post them as snippets of code.

like so

This is a minor detail but it may help with read-ability.

The errors I am seeing should not be related to PyCharm. One thing to check; could you confirm the python version that you’re running?

Sorry about that, edited now. And I’m using Python version 3.8.2.

I’m not sure if we officially support 3.8. Could you try using 3.7? I now also notice that tensorflow-addons did not get installed. Could you try installing that manually as well?
