Hi, Im trying to install Rasa on MacOs High Sierra 10.13.6. Im getting below error. ERROR: Could not build wheels for alembic which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly. I have python version 3.7.4 Please let me know if you need any information. Thanks

Hi @Coder7771 . Can you verify you followed the install steps ? Also, can you share the text prior to the error output as well in a code block like below? ERROR: Could not build wheels for alembic which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly.

Hi Ty, Thank you for reply. Below are the steps I followed. I have Python version 3.7.4 version. Creating Virtual environment: python3 -m venv --system-site-packages ./venv source ./venv/bin/activate Installing RASA: pip install rasa-x --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple also tried pip install rasa But same error. Below is detailed error msgs again.

Hi @Coder7771 . What happens if you don’t use the --system-site-packages flag? python3 -m venv ./venv source ./venv/bin/activate pip install rasa

@Coder7771 What happens if you add the --no-cache-dir flag to the install command? pip install --no-cache-dir rasa

I did that command now. Earlier issues are not coming now. Below are last few lines. It is saying about Tensorflow. Do you think installation completed?

@Coder7771 I am not sure. Does rasa --version work? If not, then I would try pip install --upgrade gast==0.2.2 and then try the installing again

Hi, I’m also having the exact same problem. I tried what was recommended and it still does not work. Thank you

Hi @stells . Can you share the command you ran, text prior to the error, and the error in a code block?

Hi @tyd , I am getting stuck on the same error. Please advise. The first time I installed rasa for the Rasa Masterclass, it worked fine. And now when I try install in again in a new directory for another simple chatbot it keeps failing with the same error message.
