python - Rasa installation Requirement Incompatible

Question

I have a laptop with Windows 10 Pro and I'm trying to install Rasa 1.6.0

When I try to run the command pip install rasa==1.6.0 --no-cache-dir, I get the following error:

SpecifierRequirement('sanic~=19.9.0')

Apparently, the library sanic 19.12.2 is being installed and later on the proccess, there's a requirement SpecifierRequirement('sanic~=19.9'), SpecifierRequirement('sanic>=0.8.3'), SpecifierRequirement('sanic~=19.9.0') which should make sanic 19.12.2 compatible. I'm not specifying any library version anywhere, so I'm assuming this is some background requirement from Rasa.

This is the result of pip freeze:

aiofiles==0.6.0
certifi==2020.12.5
click==7.1.2
contextvars==2.4
h11==0.9.0
httpcore==0.11.1

httpx==0.15.4
idna==3.1
immutables==0.14
itsdangerous==1.1.0
Jinja2==2.11.2
MarkupSafe==1.1.1

Python-dev==2.0.0.dev0
rfc3986==1.4.0
sniffio==1.2.0
websockets==5.0.1
Werkzeug==1.0.1

My Python version is 3.6.5 and pip is on version 20.3.3

Do you have any idea how I can solve this problem ?

Thanks in advance !

EDIT:

Already tried to uninstall python and pip and install them again, but it didn't solve the problem.

Answer 1

You're trying to install an old version of Rasa, one that currently isn't supported anymore and which therefore can have incompatible dependencies. At the time of writing Rasa is at version 2.2 and it's best to install via;

python -m pip install rasa

If you're in a virtualenv when you run this command you'll be sure that it is being installed correctly. In case you're interested there's a youtube installation guide here.
