Hm I think this is a python 2 vs python 3 error. Can you try pip3 install rasa-x --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple

3

this issue is slove by using virtul environment of python(3.6)…

Cool. figured it was a python versioning – sorry we didn’t get to this sooner. Glad you figured it out on your own :slight_smile:

Sorry, what’s the means of “using virtul environment of python(3.6)” and how to try it?

And I have tried " `pip3 install rasa-x --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple", but it doesn’t work

Continuing the discussion from When i install rasa X first step ( pip install rasa-x --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple) every time i get error:

So we need to stick to Python 3.6 version only in order to use Rasa X?

It is not necessary to have python3.6 virtual environment only as far as I can say. I have virtual environment of python3.7 and everything works.

This means, A virtual environment of python (version 3.6) was created. The rasa documentation on installation has complete guide to set up a virtual environment for python. Here you can find step-by-step guide to set up one. https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/installation/#step-by-step-installation-guide
