Hi, When I ran the following command in virtual environment: **rasa init --no-prompt** I got the following exception:

```auto

Hi @wilson, I guess it is related to `ImportError: cannot import name 'extract_zipped_paths'`. I installed rasa 1.3.9 myself and run `rasa init --no-prompt` and everything was working as expected.

Is your `request` package up-to-date? Can you maybe try to remove it and install it again?

Execute the following in your virtualenv.

```auto
pip uninstall requests
pip install requests

```

Hi Tanja,

Thank for your info. After upgrading requests, I still stuck in rasa init command.  
Details:

* * *

```auto

I am using Ubuntu 16. Please help.

Did you try removing your virtualenv and to

1. create a new virtualenv based on python3.6, e.g. `virtualenv -p python3.6 rasaenv` if you are using virtualenv
2. activate virtualenv
3. install rasa via `pip3 install rasa-x --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple`

Sometimes it helps to create a new virtualenv to avoid conflicting versions. Does it help?

Hi Tanja,

I have a similar problem with the policies (and other errors). I made the three steps you wrote here and I found no issues. When I tried again to run rasa init --no-prompt, it comes out this:

It still creates the project directory, but then come all of these. By checking the version comes out this:

```

Any help on this, I appreciate it.

Hi Tanja,

Thank for your useful commands. They work.

However, I encountered another problem when I tested the simple chatbot by following Rasa Tutorial.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I had googled but could not find any solution. Please advise.

Hi Tanja,

I finally solved my Rasa Shell problem by running the following command in virtual environment: sudo apt-get upgrade

Thanks a lot.

conda create -n rasaenv python=3.7 anaconda ---- \> set python 3.7

conda install tensorflow==2.1.0 -----\> install tensorflow 2.1.0

pip install rasa==1.9.0 --\> install rasa 1.9.0 version

these steps works for me.

If I give command like this : rasa train but it gives below error: No training data given. Please provide stories and NLU data in order to train a Rasa model using the ‘–data’ argument.

if I give command like this: python -m rasa train core -s data/stories.md -d domain.yml --config config.yml

Then it show error like this: rasa.core.policies.ensemble.InvalidPolicyConfig: Module for policy ‘MemoizationPolicy’ could not be loaded. Please make sure the name is a valid policy.
