Error when running Rasa init command

[coorfang (unknown error)]

Hello People,

I was following the manual installing tutorial

I did the following steps:

python3 -m venv --system-site-packages ./venv
source ./venv/bin/activate

pip3 install rasa-x --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple

However when I tried to run rasa init --no-prompt , it reports the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/xxxxx/Rasa/rasa-nlu-demo/venv/bin/rasa", line 6, in <module>
    from rasa.__main__ import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rasa'

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Hi @coorfang ,

those are indeed the correct steps, so I need a bit more information to help you figure out what is going on.

From the error message it appears you’re using macOS, is that correct?

What python version are you using? You can check with:

$ python3 --version

It needs to be python 3.6 or 3.7.

If that is OK, can you please repeat the steps, and check if you see any error messages or warnings during the installation process?
