[achimdehnert]

Hi, I like very much what you are doing! UNfortunatelly I am stuck

what I have: Ubuntu 18.04 conda venv python 3.6 rasa_coree and rasa_nla stable

when I start "sudo npm install" I get an error, see below
I already tried: sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /home/dehnert/.config

(dehn_rasa0) dehnert@vmd37935:/RasaTalk$ sudo npm install

Hey,

this looks like a permission issue on your machine.

I would first suggest not using sudo with npm install, then secondly trying outside of a Virtual Python Environment if you can.

Hey @achimdehnert I've not seen a reply so I'm going to close this for now!
