The problem is probably the kernel that your Notebook uses.

Anyway, the bot is not supposed to run in a jupyter notebook. Just go to the console and type

```
rasa init

```

And a first small chatbot project will magically appear. For further information go here

And Im not sure, what you mean by ‘tool’ to build a chatbot. Youre already at RASA so you got a nice toolset, otherwise if you like a nice IDE you might try Pycharm for example.

Thank for your response. Sorry, it’s not a tool, it’s IDE.
