Trying to install Rasa and Rasa X on Win10, June 2021

Rasa Open Source
1

Guys, i’ve got all sorts of errors trying to follow the instructions. Unfortunately, I’m having to follow different instructors without a single continuous set of instructions, and piece together bits and pieces from across the internet.

Is there at all, one training video/instruction that shows from start to finish, how to install Rasa and Rasa X, in complete order on Windows 10?

Something that includes the VS Code installation (plus any additional packages to install) and Anaconda etc would be great. It seems the current Rasa tutorials are already out of date, and disjointed.

@hgoona Hi. You need to create the fresh conda environment with python 3.6 or 3.7 or 3.8

Downgrade the pip version to 20.2

Then install

pip3 install rasa==2.6.2
pip3 install rasa-sdk==2.6.0
pip install rasa-x==0.40.0 --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple

If you have trained the model with the last version, do train the model again as per new version if you are copying the old project.

The current version of RASA 41.X having some kind of issue, majorly pip3 issue and resolver.

Try for this process, if you have any issue we are here to help you!

I guess you will still see some Warning messages. Do share that with us. Good Luck!

it came to this error on the SDK install line:

ERROR: After October 2020 you may experience errors when installing or updating packages. This is because pip will change the way that it resolves dependency conflicts.

We recommend you use --use-feature=2020-resolver to test your packages with the new resolver before it becomes the default.

rasa 2.6.2 requires multidict<5.0,>=4.6, but you’ll have multidict 5.1.0 which is incompatible.

pip3 install rasa-sdk==2.6.0 --use-feature=2020-resolver
