Hi guys, welcome to my blog

Here I am going to explain to you how you can build a custom chatbot for your business or for your own website!

Rasa: It is an open-source chatbot development package that is most effective and quick to implement the platform, its performance also awesome.

How to install RASA?

You can install by using pip

Simply open your terminal or anaconda prompt then enter

pip install rasa=1.6.0

Rasa 1.6.0 is the stable version because I am using it, the experience is very smooth, most of the errors occur when you install unstable versions.

Along with rasa I recommend you to install rasa-x

pip install rasa-x

If you face any issues you can get support from rasa official documentation.

After installation

Create any folder My folder would be /home/kiran/Desktop/testing-rasa folder

Go to this path /home/kiran/Desktop/testing-rasa then initiate rasa.

rasa init — no-prompt

Now it will create files and few folders in the current working directory, now you can run the bot.

There are two ways to test rasa

rasa shell

It will run in the shell you can test it by sending messages.

Congrats you tested the first bot, let’s explore more in next article

Here you go with clear video explanation
