for python 3.7, i used python -m pip install --upgrade numpy which changed numpy version to one which isn’t supported by rasa so i uninstalled it again using python -m pip uninstall numpy and then reinstalled it using python -m pip install numpy==1.19.2 but my error wasn’t resolved. i didn’t install numpy as a separate dependency and allowed rasa to install all dependencies itself by python -m pip install rasa so i don’t understand why i am getting that error in the first place.

Sounds like a similar error to randomname 🤔 If you run python -c 'import numpy; print(numpy.__version__)' does it show you version 1.19.2 that have been installed? What’s the exact error message saying?

I tweaked my env a lot and finally found a way through. I created a fresh env with python 3.9 then installed randomname and checked if python was able to recognize it. Once that was successful, I then downgraded python to 3.8 and rechecked if it could recognize randomname. It worked. After that i installed rasa using python -m pip install rasa and everything works like a charm so far.

Wow, this blows my mind. I’m glad you got it to work @ShabbirK52!

Thank you for patiently helping me out, much appreciated 🙌
