Rasa init fails

Rasa Open Source

Using Ubuntu 20.04, python 3.8.5, rasa version : 2.0.0.rc2. Command rasa init fails with below error. Error urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found URL trying to access : https://github.com/PolyAI-LDN/polyai-models/releases/download/v1.0/model.tar.gz Quick check in browser also led to 404. Noticed that ConveRT is taken down. Any alternative here so that this initialisation command works fine

Thanks in advance for help. Viswanath.B

Try with python 3.7.0 I have the same problem with 3.8

When you do the init and it goes through it’s setup questions, just say no when it asks, “Do you want to train an initial model?”

The issue is that the initial training is setup to use that ConveRT and you’ll have to change your config to use a different tokenizer and featurizer. Right now rasa is saying this about it: PolyAI Models - model.tar.gz - No Longer Available? · Issue #6806 · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub

execute this

rasa init --no-prompt

Hi Ulises,

Thanks for your response

I could address the issue with the help of conda create -n win-rasa anaconda which is possibly addressing the required packages installation inherently.

Followed this medium article. Install Rasa on windows system | Medium | Medium

Will continue to explore and come back in case of any more questions.

Thanks Viswanath.B
