I have been trying to install rasa on my Window 10 machine. But no success so far. Environment wise I have python 3.7, pip 20.3. When I run pip install rasa==1.7.0 on anaconda powershell it takes ages to download the dependencies and finally errors out as:
ERROR: Exception:

I could not find much details on this. As already dependencies were taking lot of time, I came across New resolver takes time article which states pip 20.3 takes more time. One way to solve it is to give exact versions of dependencies which I was not sure of as am quite new to rasa. I tried using older resolver as pip install rasa==1.7.0 --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver. After sometime it errored out as below:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement jaxlib>=0.1.51 (from dopamine-rl->tensor2tensor~=1.14.0->rasa==1.7.0) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for jaxlib>=0.1.51 (from dopamine-rl->tensor2tensor~=1.14.0->rasa==1.7.0)
To resolve this: I did dopamine install of different version as suggested here asI was not sure what version to go with. The packages started downloading and finally gave the dependency conflict error, occurred due to usage of legacy resolver.
ERROR: pip's legacy dependency resolver does not consider dependency conflicts when selecting packages. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
tensorflow-metadata 0.26.0 requires absl-py<0.11,>=0.9, but you'll have absl-py 0.11.0 which is incompatible.
kfac 0.2.3 requires tensorflow-probability==0.8, but you'll have tensorflow-probability 0.7.0 which is incompatible.
If we go with new resolver then it takes lot of time in resolving dependencies. Also we are not sure what all dependency versions needs to be downloaded to fine tune it.
Any help pointers here would be much appreciated.
. Tensor flow version 1.15.0 and Rasa version is 1.7.0
