I am trying to install rasa on Windows 10.
I am done installing Python 3.6 and pip packege.
When I am running pip install rasa_nlu
I am getting the following error:
c:\program files (x86)\python36-32\include\pyconfig.h(222): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'basetsd.h': No such file or directory
error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC\\BIN\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2
I have tried most of the solutions like reinstalling Microsoft redistributables, installing build tools etc. but none of them worked.
I also faced the similar issue. Here's how I resolved it:
For a clean install of RASA NLU on a Windows machine with all other dependencies, I followed the following steps:
While installing Anaconda in: C:\Anaconda3
, because installing it in C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3
would cause some Folder Lock problem while installing some pip packages.
Install JDK and JRE both and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable as JVM is required for the Duckling Date Parser needed by RASA NLU.
Next, install the following packages in this order in administrative mode in Anaconda 3 command prompt:
- Spacy –
pip install -U spacy
- Spacy Large English language model -
python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg
Link the model now:
python -m spacy link en_core_web_lg en
Fallback if the above fails: If your network is blocking it, or is too slow to download the above model, fallback by downloading it directly from its GitHub repo extract the tar.gz using 7z and do python setup.py install by navigating into the directory.
Scikit –
pip install -U scikit-learn
- Numpy –
pip install -U numpy
- Scipy Package –
pip install -U scipy
- Sklearn –
pip install -U sklearn-crfsuite
- Duckling –
pip install -U duckling
- Tensorflow as a component -
pip install -U tensorflow
- Latest version of RASA NLU –
pip install -U rasa_nlu
Check if RASA installed or not by pasting the following command in Anaconda command prompt:
python -c "import rasa_nlu; print(rasa_nlu.__version__);"
