Welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

As the error states, you don’t have the correct Python version.

On top of that, the docs state the following:

Currently, rasa supports the following Python versions: 3.7 , 3.8 , 3.9 and 3.10 . Note that Python 3.10 is only supported for versions 3.4.x and upwards. Additionally, rasa installation on Apple Silicon with Python 3.10 is not functional in 3.4.x but will be supported starting from 3.5.x .

Execute python -V to check what version you have.
