While trying to install Rasa X using docker compose by following the docs here : [Docker-Compose Quick Install](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/installation-and-setup/docker-compose-script/) I ended up with an error:: fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Could not import python modules: apt, apt\_pkg. Please install python3-apt package.”}

Which container is reporting this error?

Can you attach the logfile output? You can do this with `docker-compose logs`.

The installation fails miserably without even installing docker-compose. So I cant find log files. ![rsz_1screenshot_from_2020-03-14_08-50-29](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/2X/d/d862b3a4f6e557810766c333ebcf7671421e9596.png)

Yes, I’ve had this issue in the past. As stated in my response to your [other post](http://forum.rasa.com/t/install-error-could-not-import-python-modules/13772), I had OS level Python issues which I resolved by setting up [conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/) but you can also use [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html).

You can also find the above issue reported by other ansible users. I was able to sometimes clear the problem by removing temporary directories used by ansible but this was never reliable whereas conda has solved this issue for me.

Did you try what Greg suggested above? And which OS are you using?
