Failing to install RASA on Windows 7

post by angshuman-agarwal on Nov 12, 2019

I am doing step by step installation on Windows 7 with RASA only option - https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/user-guide/installation/#install-rasa-and-rasa-x

$ pip install rasa

But, it is failing at this step in the end with the following error -

Please can someone help here ?

Google and fix this. It should fix the installation.

I checked that, I have it. I think original issue is not VC++. original issue is -

ERROR: botocore 1.13.12 has requirement python-dateutil<2.8.1,>=2.1; python_version >= "2.7", but you'll have python-dateutil 2.8.1 which is incompatible.
ERROR: dopamine-rl 2.0.5 has requirement gym>=0.10.5, but you'll have gym 0.7.4 which is incompatible.

Then i guess you’ll have to manually update ‘‘gym’’ to the appropriate version

hey @angshuman-agarwal, check this video, it’s for windows 10 but it might work for windows 7

post by vinoth on Nov 12, 2019

please verify the module requirement versions whether it is compatible if not try to install module separately by mentioning the version also

I have Visual Studio 17 and Visual Studio 15 both installed alongwith VC++ binaries (v14.x) already. Start > Run > type appwiz.cpl > I see it
