Hi all.

Just installed a fresh version of rasa x through this command:

pip install rasa-x --extra-index-url [https://pypi.rasa.com/simple](https://pypi.rasa.com/simple)

when I am trying to run it through: rasa x

I am getting this error:

The path ‘config.yml’ does not exist. Please make sure to use the default location (‘config.yml’) or specify it with ‘–config’.

I’ve read through a few topics on the subjects and people claim that when they point to the executable directory then it works for them, but:

I have no idea where the executable is since I did not point the installation to any directory and there is nothing in Program Files folder…

Any tips on how I could fix this?

I “solved” this buy running `rasa init`, training the model, then running `rasa x`. Kind of weird it’s not described in the docs like that.
