Please show me the output of pip3 -V.

If you see something other than Python 3.7 or 3.8, here’s your problem.

As mentioned in the docs, you need Python 3.7 or 3.8.

@Photons151 for installing rasa open source for 3.x you required

Install Rasa Open Source using pip (requires Python 3.7, or 3.8). Ref: Installation

Good Luck!

download python 3.9 from official python website

open command prompt and run the below:

python --version (confirm its 3.9, otherwise uninstall previous versions and install 3.9)

next run, one after the other

python -m venv venv

.\venv\Scripts\activate

pip install --upgrade setuptools

pip install --upgrade pip

pip install --upgrade wheel

pip install rasa (wait till its done)

(if you get execution policy error) Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

rasa init

remember, fight it until it works , good luck
