How to install rasa

1. Install the Python development environment on your system

Requires Python 3.6–3.7.7 and pip >= 19.0

python3 --version
pip3 --version
virtualenv --version1

If these packages are already installed, skip to the next step.
Otherwise, install Python, the pip package manager, and Virtualenv:

Windows Install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, and 2019. Starting with the TensorFlow 2.1.0 version, the msvcp140_1.dll file is required from this package (which may not be provided from older redistributable packages). The redistributable comes with Visual Studio 2019 but can be installed separately:

Go to the Microsoft Visual C++ downloads,
Scroll down the page to the Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 section.
Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 for your platform. Make sure long paths are enabled on Windows.

Install the 64-bit Python 3 release for Windows (select pip as an optional feature).

mac OS

Install using the Homebrew package manager:

$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
$ export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:\$PATH"
$ brew update
$ brew install python # Python 3
$ sudo pip3 install -U virtualenv # system-wide install

Ubuntu

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pip
$ sudo pip3 install -U virtualenv # system-wide install

###pip3 install -U pip virtualenv

Prefer v3.6 / v3.7.7 Caution: Upgrading the system pip can cause problems. If not in a virtual environment, use python3 -m pip for the commands below. This ensures that you upgrade and use the Python pip instead of the system pip.

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended)

Python virtual environments are used to isolate package installation from the system.

Ubuntu / mac OS
- Create a new virtual environment by choosing a Python interpreter and making a ./venv directory to hold it: virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3 ./venv
- Activate virtual environment
  source ./venv/bin/activate
- When virtualenv is active, your shell prompt is prefixed with (venv).
- Install packages within a virtual environment without affecting the host system setup. Start by upgrading pip:
```
(venv) $ pip install --upgrade pip

(venv) $ pip list  # show packages installed within the virtual environment
```
- And to exit virtualenv later: (venv) $ deactivate

Windows
- Create a new virtual environment by choosing a Python interpreter and making a .\venv directory to hold it:
  
  virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3 ./venv
- Activate the virtual environment:
  
  .\venv\Scripts\activate
- Install packages within a virtual environment without affecting the host system setup. Start by upgrading pip:
```
pip install --upgrade pip
pip list  # show packages installed within the virtual environment```
```
- And to exit virtualenv later:
```
  deactivate # don't exit until you're done using TensorFlow
```

3. Install Rasa

(venv) $ pip install rasa

Note: Run this in virtual environment. If issues regarding installing raise issues.
