Hello,

i am trying to install rasa nlu on my orange pi aarch64.

The command I run to install in a virtualenv is the following:

```auto
pip3 install rasa == 2.5.0 rasa-sdk == 2.5.0.

```

The installation fails with the following error:

```auto
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-text <2.4,> = 2.3; sys_platform! = "win32" (from rasa == 2.5.0) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-text <2.4,> = 2.3; sys_platform! = "win32" (from rasa == 2.5.0)

```

What can I do for you?

Thanks to anyone who wants to give me a suggestion.

Welcome to the forum!

The [docs](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/2.x/installation) recommend using Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu.

Anyway, please show me the output of `pip3 -V` in your virtual environment.

Thanks for the reply. But in which architectures can I install rasa? This below is the version of pip.

```auto
pip3 -V
pip 20.0.2

```

I am using orange pi

Is this the full output of `pip3 -V`?

If not, please show it. If yes, please show me the output of `python -V`.

You just need AVX.

Run `more /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags | grep avx` . If you don’t see a result, it means your CPU does not support it.

No thank you, I already have a job and I’m a student as well - no time for side projects 🙂

The cpu does not support AVX. Is it necessary for tensorflow and rasa?

Yes it is - unless you want to [build Tensorflow from source](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source).

I installed tensorflow with the command

pip3 install tensorflow-aarch64

I then installed rasa with the command

pip3 install rasa

I had no mistakes.

running the rasa command, I get rasa mot found

if i run the python -m rasa command, i get the error module not found.

Do I try to compile rasa?

Thank you

Sorry for not answering previously!

Maybe @nik202 can help better? 😅

I the meantime, make sure `pip3 -V` and `python -V` give you the same Python version. If not, try `python3 -m rasa`.

@tboprob only one simple question, are you able to install Anaconda on your system, yes or no (please try and get back to me)

@tboprob Ok. If you are not able to install even Anaconda then I’m afraid there is no possible solution from my side as I never personally installed on aarch64. Did the above-mentioned link didn’t help you?

@tboprob do mention me next time.

@tboprob if you are able to install anaconda follow these steps as mentioned in this thread :

Please install Anaconda from [Anaconda | Individual Edition](https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual), then create the conda environment using the following command

1. conda create -n rasa2 python=3.8
2. conda activate rasa 2

**PS:** If you using Linux, check the environment for the same.

**Note:** I’d recommend creating a fresh environment if not you can proceed with the next steps:

**For Rasa Open Source:**

```auto
`pip install rasa==2.8.1`
`pip install rasa-sdk==2.8.1'

```

OR

As per your requirements.

check version `rasa --version` is install or not

**For Installing basic project:**

`rasa init`

Do get back to me on this good luck!

Rasa open source is not yet supported on Python 3.9.

Congrats if you were able to install conda now follow this thread and install Rasa Open source.

> @vio_lovis Hello, and welcome! I’m sure, you followed some video while creating the conda environment which making the life of environment very hard i.e you separately installed ujson and TensorFlow which is not required, it install by default. Secondly, If you are using financial demo bot that also fine, you not need to install rasa/rasa-sdk 2.6.0 or 2.6.3 respectively. If you have project folder, you just need to train. If you can follow these steps, you can easily able to run the basic mood…

Note: Please follow the steps before Rasa X only first 🙂

I wish you are now able to install ROS and Good Luck!
