Hi, I want to install and run Rasa Studio on my on promise windows computer for development. any idea if it is possible ?
Hello, you can install and run Rasa on a Windows computer for development purposes. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Set Up Python Environment:
Ensure you have Python 3.8 or 3.9 installed (Rasa works best with these versions).
Install pip (Python’s package manager) if it’s not already installed.
Create a virtual environment to isolate your Rasa project:
bash python -m venv rasa_env rasa_env\Scripts\activate Install Rasa:
Update pip to the latest version:
bash pip install --upgrade pip Install Rasa Open Source:
bash pip install rasa Initialize a Rasa Project:
Once Rasa is installed, you can create a new project:
bash rasa init This will set up a basic Rasa project structure and allow you to test the installation.
Install Additional Dependencies:
Depending on your use case, you might need additional dependencies like spacy or tensorflow. For example:
bash pip install rasa[spacy] python -m spacy download en_core_web_md Run Rasa:
To start the Rasa server, use:
bash rasa run For interactive training, use:
bash rasa interactive Considerations for On-Premise Setup:
Ensure your system meets the hardware requirements for Rasa, especially if you’re using machine learning models.
Best Regard, Amy
