Hello,
I have been trying to install Rasa on Ubuntu18.x and Ubuntu 20.x and it has been always the same issue with Rasa giving illegal instruction and illegal instruction code dump, can anyone has an exact reference manual that can be referred to for installation which has exact information of which TensorFlow version and other dependencies are required for rasa version. any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Hello and welcome to the community 
The installation is actually one simple step:
pip install rasa
But, as mentioned in the docs, you need:
It will itself download all the correct versions of TensorFlow and other needed libraries. For this reason, and to not conflict with projects that may need other requirements, it would be better to execute that in a Python virtual envronment.
The steps become:
python -m venv ./rasaenv # Create a virtual environment in your current folder
rasaenv\Scripts\activate.bat # Activate the virtual environment
pip install rasa # Install Rasa and its dependencies in the virtual environment
rasa init # Creates a basic Rasa project in your current folder
python3 -m venv ./rasaenv # Create a virtual environment in your current folder
source ./rasaenv/bin/activate # Activate the virtual environment
python3 -m pip install rasa # Install Rasa and its dependencies in the virtual environment
python3 -m rasa init # Creates a basic Rasa project in your current folder
Note: You will always need to activate the virtual environment every time you want to work with Rasa.
If you’re getting errors, please show the exact command you’re executing and the exact error you’re getting.
Hi @chetangjha Can you please clarify which Rasa version you are trying to install and what errors you are facing with some screenshots? Please even can you tell me what do you mean by this?
Thanks.

Tip: Don’t just copy and paste commands, outputs, and code. Please properly format them by using three backticks (```) not apostrophes (’’’) a line before and a line after the code

You have Python 3.6 (and a VERY old version of Pip)
Earlier I had , now downgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 to check on this version , have updated my python now
No need to downgrade the whole Ubuntu, just upgrade Python.
Anyway, now that you have Python 3.7, update Pip and try again.
@chetangjha My question remain the same “Which Rasa Version you are trying to install and where ? local machine or server” ??
Now as per your screenshots and conversations with Chris Rahme please understand and even I would recommend to read the documentation of rasa:
If you are trying to install rasa using pip install rasa as I can see in the screenshot. This command will install Rasa 3.0.X version. Big but for installing Rasa 3.0.X you need Python version 3.7 and 3.8 only and in other screenshot I can see python 3.6, even chris pointed out to you. Thanks Chris
Please I would highly recommend to create conda environment or virtaul env python 3.7 or 3.8 for installling rasa 3.x or If you are planning for 2.X you can create 3.6 or 3.7 or 3.8 respectively.
When you create the envionment or trying to install rasa with specific version such as pip install rasa==2.8.1 or 2.8.15 etc It will automatically take care every dependencies etc etc ; just sometimes it show some dependences and you just fixed it and all good to go.
For pip you need a latest pip version I guess 21.2 is the latest (no sure) or it should be alleast 20.0.2.
For installing rasa latest or olde you can see the following installation videos and select as per your machine: Installation Guides - YouTube
Good Luck!!

Regards CJ
@chetangjha have you installed an anaconda and create the environment ?
@chetangjha please share rasa --version?
@chetangjha well, I guess you have created in usr/src# itself can you type ls and share me the content?
