Installation errors on Ubuntu 20.4

[vink (vineet kumar)]

I am installing rasa 3 on ubuntu 20.4 and python 3.8.10 Have gone through the usual process of creating venv , activating it, and then ‘pip3 install rasa’. The install completes but the errors below are displayed. Also, when I do ‘pip list’ I see Rasa 3.0.4 installed.

Following is the output when I do 'rasa --version':
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/vin/rasaprojects/venv/bin/rasa", line 5, in <module>
    from rasa.__main__ import main

@vink confirm me at the time of the installation process did you get any warnings or compatibility issues?

OR

Can you try downgrading sanic version? for me sanic==21.9.3 worked and even share the rasa --version please

pip install sanic==21.9.3

I hope this will solve your issue if it’s related to CompositionView. Good Luck!

The second screenshot shows the incompatibility errors. I installed the correct versions. Now, I am getting the following error:

rasa --version

@vink have you seen this video, I know it’s old but please have a look, or if you already did? Installing Rasa Open Source on Ubuntu - YouTube . I’d recommend starting with the fresh.
