Hi everybody,

I’m trying to put this webchat widget ([https://github.com/mrbot-ai/rasa-webchat](https://github.com/mrbot-ai/rasa-webchat)) on my page. But I still have not figured out how to use the webchat channel: [https://github.com/mrbot-ai/rasa-addons/](https://github.com/mrbot-ai/rasa-addons/)

Can anybody help me to set it up in some simple steps?

You can use the socket input channel instead 🙂 [https://rasa.com/docs/core/connectors/#socketio-setup](https://rasa.com/docs/core/connectors/#socketio-setup)

Ok I’m trying to setup using [socket.io](http://socket.io) on your rasa-demo bot. I’ve included:

```
socketio:
    user_message_evt: user_uttered
    bot_message_evt: bot_uttered

```

Also I’m running it with the runscript:

```
python -m rasa_core.run -d models/dialogue -u models/nlu/current --debug --endpoints endpoints.yml --credentials credentials.yml

```

And I’m redirecting the webchat widget to:

```
http://localhost:5005

```

I also tried to point it out to:

```
http://localhost:5055/webhook

```

But I keep getting:

127.0.0.1 - - [2018-10-18 21:41:12] “GET /socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=MQ9nDx0 HTTP/1.1” 404 342 0.000936

Error on the terminal. What did I do wrong? ☹

Ok, nvm.

Just in case anybody is also getting the issue. That’s because in the requirements of the demo-bot it uses a version of rasa-core that does not have [socket.io](http://socket.io) yet

How to recompile this repo and produce that final.js file from it ? @custodioI know it’s a react app and i know some basic things. I also tried `npm install` and `build run` command.

Solved. Only some dependency issue.
