Thanks @nik202 . I had a nightmare getting rasa to successfully install and run in windows 10 conda. Everything from issues with the tensorflow package to timeouts to hanging cmd prompts to the “‘rasa’ is not recognized” issue. I tried lots of other solutions from various fora with no success. After cleaning, removing and creating numerous conda environments, these were the steps that finally worked for me to get rasa running.

Thanks @nik202 . I meant to say that the steps you posted were the only ones that worked for me to solve the headline issue. Rasa OS is running now.
