I’m using Mac OS x Big Sur and I had to install Python 3.9.1 for venv to work. And I’m looking to migrate my existing bot to Rasa 2.0. I followed the instructions in this blog post under the Setting up the environment section - [Migrating your Rasa 1.x assistant to Rasa 2.0](https://blog.rasa.com/migrating-your-rasa-1-x-assistant-to-rasa-2-0/) `python3 -m venv ./venv``source ./venv/bin/activate``pip install rasa==2.0` On the third command, I got the following error - `ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement rasa==2.0 ERROR: No matching distribution found for rasa==2.0` So after removing the version parameter (I also tried \>=2.0), I ran `pip install rasa` but then I got the following response and it ended up installing rasa 0.0.5 - ```auto Collecting rasa Using cached rasa-1.10.2-py3-none-any.whl (510 kB) Using cached

The solution seems to be to re-install Python 3.7 on Big Sur and then try to install rasa. More updates on this in a bit, but I got further through this approach. ---

HI Ganesh, I am facing issues installing Rasa on Silicon M1 MacBook with Big Sur. I already tried installing Python 3.7.9 and that install was successful, but Rasa is not yet installed. Just checking if you would have any pointers I should look at - > [@Unable to install Rasa on M1 Silicon Macbook](http://forum.rasa.com/t/unable-to-install-rasa-on-m1-silicon-macbook/39672): > > I have installed python 3.7.9 on Apple M1 silicon (Big Sur) and have ensured PATH is updated so my Python3 --version returns the same active version 3.7.9. There are multiple discard warnings in the installation, but finally, the installation fails with the below log trail. I assume this has to do with the hardware dependency resolution for Tensorflow and other packages that is not resolved for Apple M1 silicon macs yet. Any guidance on how to get Rasa running on M1 macs would be highly apprecia… ---

I’ve written a guide that seems to work for me to get Rasa Open Source 3.x working on a Macbook with a M1 chip. It’s unofficial, largely due to changes that might hopefully happen, but it’s something that should help in the meantime. > [@An Unofficial Guide to Installing Rasa on an M1 Macbook](http://forum.rasa.com/t/an-unofficial-guide-to-installing-rasa-on-an-m1-macbook/51342): > > Hi all. Because Rasa uses Tensorflow we’ve been experiencing some pip-related hardship getting installations to work on the new apple M1 macbooks. I think we’ve found a temporary workaround for the situation, but it’s important to emphesize that this workaround is very much temporary. Hopefully, these steps won’t be needed in the future when the Tensorflow/pip incompatibilities are adressed. An unofficial guide to getting Rasa to work on a M1 Macbook. What follows below is a step-by-step guide…
