@rkolekar which version you are trying to install and can you share the installation steps link with us?

@nik202 I used pip install rasa-x -i Simple Index I am using Rasa Version:3.0.4.

@rkolekar Firstly, rasa x is yet not compatible with rasa open source 3.x, so I am sorry you can not use rasa x 1.0.1 with rasa 3.x. But, if you looking for an alternative solution, please do let me know. Thanks.

Thanks @nik202 for letting me know. It would help me a lot if you can tell me an alternative solution to use rasa x.

The error message tells you that you are missing one python dependency - xmlsec. Please install them using

Linux:

apt-get update && apt-get install -y pkg-config libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev 
libxmlsec1-openssl libpq-de

MacOS

brew install libxml2 libxmlsec1 pkg-config

@HotThoughts can you please confirm for me are running rasa x with rasa 3.x and could you please share the rasa --version. It’s running on a local machine or server?

@rkolekar You can try to install rasa x for 2.x rasa open-source version while seeing this thread: Getting error while running rasa x locally - #4 by nik202 If you have any doubt please let me know.

Note: I am yet not aware of the current version of rasa open-source i.e 3.x is compatible with any version of rasa x. Good Luck!

Hey @nik202 , xmlsec is a dependency for python wheel. Python needs it to build the wheel. It is not Rasa-specific.

If he had installed rasa 3.x and trying installing rasa x latest i.e 1.0.x? I’m aware of this xmlsec.

11

Oh yeah. I see your point now. It doesn’t make sense to install Rasa X 1.x when using Rasa OSS 3.x.

I think the problem is the simple installation method. It shouldn’t install Rasa X 1.x given the fact that it is deprecated in Rasa X 1.x.

@HotThoughts correct :+1::relaxed:

Thanks, @nik202. I followed your shared thread. The issue is resolved now.
