Rasa NLU installation issue

I had rasa nlu version 0.12.3 installed. I had some issues and uninstalled rasa nlu and other requirements using

pip uninstall rasa_nlu
pip uninstall -r requirements.txt

Now when I am installing rasa nlu again using pip install rasa_nlu

I see below messages in the terminal

Error processing line 1 of /Users/uername/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib-2.0.2-py3.6-nspkg.pth:



     Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "/Users/username/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site.py", line 168, in addpackage
          exec(line)
        File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
        File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 557, in module_from_spec
      AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'loader'

    Remainder of file ignored

There are more messages regarding installation and the final message is

    Found existing installation: greenlet 0.4.12
    Cannot uninstall 'greenlet'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

And it turns out that rasa nlu is not installed. I know that the nlu is not installed because when I check the nlu version with below command

python -c "import rasa_nlu; print(rasa_nlu.__version__);"

I get error

Error processing line 1 of /Users/username/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib-2.0.2-py3.6-nspkg.pth:

As mentioned in Rasa's official documentation, Install it with

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

It will install Rasa X and Rasa. It works great.

If you want to uninstall python package which is part of distutils, you can manually remove the folder from 'site-packages' folder. If it is Anaconda distribution, it will be in following folder. I suggest to cut the folder and paste it somewhere else for the backup purpose.

In windows:

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages

I'm sure Linux will have similar folder structure.

Following 2 items needs to be removed.

Folder [package version no.] File - [package>.egg-info]

Turns out the problem was happening due to a distutils installed project which the pip install couldn't uninstall before installation.

So I had to use --ignore-installed

In short, below command solved the problem

sudo pip install --ignore-installed rasa_nlu
