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 appreciated. Thanks!

Your computer dependency is mismatched with rasa. You should try to create a virtual env and then install rasa

Yes I have created a venv and that’s where I am trying to install and getting this error.

We will have to wait for tensorflow to officially support M1 chips.

In the meantime, I’ve written an unofficial guide that might help. Full description can be found on the forum here: [image] An Unofficial Guide to Installing Rasa on an M1 Macbook Rasa Open Source 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…
