Hello, I have a problem with: rasa init. I am using jupyterlab in Anaconda. I have the installation with: ‘pip install rasa’ (python 3.8). Apparently it is successfull, but when I use rasa init, it returns me the error ‘invalid syntaxis’. I’ve tried to create another environment with Anaconda with other python versions, but I 've had the same problem.

Thank you,

Mar

The problem was solved. Finally, I used the anaconda prompt and everything was okay. Thank you so much.
