Hello, I am new to Rasa. I just followed the tutorial and installed Rasa, but I failed to init a project with (rasa init --no-prompt). The error message is “ImportError: DLL load failed:”. I tried on both python 3.6.8 and 3.7.5. I am on Win10 with Intel®\_Celeron®\_N4100\_CPU. Please help me.

Below is the error message:

```auto

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hi there @yhdrytjd, from what I can see, it is a tensorflow (\>1.6) issue having to do with your machine not supporting AVX instructions: [Tensorflow Install Problem · Issue #17919 · tensorflow/tensorflow · GitHub](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/17919)

(The tensorflow version we use for reference is 1.14)
