I got the same error message…

Hey problem got solved by using Virtual environment create with Conda

Follow the installation process by @rctatman in youtube. Just search rasa installation. Installing Rasa in a virtual environment would work for you.

Hi there I encountered the same issue pertaining to ujson build error. It seems to me only ujson 1.35 is supported and compatible. And pip installing it directly doesn’t seem to work. You can download the wheel file for ujson 1.35 . like mine was ujson-1.35-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl here cp37 means my cyptyhon version/ python version which is 3.7.x and x86_64 was compatible for my ubuntu16.04 platform. you can lookup appropriate wheel file accordingly. Then use the following command:

pip3 install ujson-1.35-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl then :

pip3 install rasa-x --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple

pip/pip3 both can be used,

yes i got a solution that no need to create a virutal environment at the earlier on conda. need to install in the base version…just

1. conda install tensorflow for all the processor(i3,i5,i7)
2. conda install ujson
3. pip install rasa Then all done just check with the keyword type “rasa” if its showing the lack of list it means succesfully installed. Then run “rasa init”…it will ask the permision to install the dependencies…give the location path. Then it will train the model itself… close the terminal and try again to create the conda enviroment …after installation…then activate your env name… then run like the above steps. Thank you

Hey,

If you are on windows and use anaconda distribution, this might help you .

1. First create an virtual environment in anaconda prompt using the command : conda create -n rasavirtualenv python = 3.6
2. Activate your environment using the command : conda activate rasavirtualenv
3. install ujson 1.35 version using the command: conda install ujson==1.35
4. Now install rasa x using the command below :

pip3 install rasa-x --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple

You can choose any name for your virtual environment as per your liking.

This flow has worked for me. Wish you all the best

How much time it took to install rasa x?
