Python version : 3.6 OS - MacOS Rasa installed in virtual environment

Used the below code to train the model from rasa.train import train\_nlu import os

```
module_directory = os.path.join("/Users/kishorekumarg/Desktop/models")
module_name = "20191124-210721.tar.gz"
config_file = '/Users/kishorekumarg/Downloads/Rasa/nlu_model_config.json'
nlu_data = '/Users/kishorekumarg/Downloads/rasa_training_en.json'

train_nlu(
    config=config_file,
    nlu_data=nlu_data,
    output=module_directory,
    fixed_model_name=module_name
)
print('done')

```

Inside the Virtual environment executed the above code and got the model trained as below. (venv) kishorekumarg@KISHOREs-MacBook-Pro programs % python traincopy.py

Fitting 5 folds for each of 6 candidates, totalling 30 fits

[Parallel(n_jobs=1)]: Using backend SequentialBackend with 1 concurrent workers.

[Parallel(n_jobs=1)]: Done 30 out of 30 | elapsed: 2.5min finished

NLU model training completed.

Your Rasa model is trained and saved at '/Users/kishorekumarg/Desktop/models/20191124-210721.tar.gz.tar.gz'.

done

```

Now tried to test the same by passing a set of statement using the below code.

```
from rasa_nlu.model import Metadata, Interpreter

import json

# where `model_directory points to the folder the model is persisted in
interpreter = Interpreter.load('/Users/kishorekumarg/Desktop/models/20191124-210721.tar.gz')

```

The Error I have got is below.

`rasa_nlu.model.InvalidProjectError: Failed to load model metadata from '/Users/kishorekumarg/Desktop/models/20191124-210721.tar.gz/metadata.json'. [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/Users/kishorekumarg/Desktop/models/20191124-210721.tar.gz/metadata.json'`

My objective is to train a model in RASA Spacy\_sklearn as config and to test the same with set of statements as a kind of benchmarking activity. I am stuck with the below - can you please help me in this regard. I understand a lot has changed with rasa 0.14 to 1.4.6. Even for the training the model with python code - I have got the code from the rasa blog. It would be great if you could help on the testing the same model with python.

Thanks Kishore

Hey @rohitnairtech. Which Rasa version are you running? I would suggest updating to the latest release - 1.8

Thanks for the reply @Juste I’m on 1.1.1.

However, I managed to fix the error by extracting the tar.gz and pointing to that directory. Agent.load("…/models/demo") Interpreter.load("…/models/demo/nlu")

I can’t upgrade to the latest version because of some issue from the latest tensorflow library which doesn’t support my CPU architecture.

I have installed RASA in an virtual environment it installs 1.5. Ideally its expected to install 1.8 or later now is 1.9. I have used the command as pip install rasa
