2. Download and run the install script of Rasa X on the server
curl -sSL -o install.sh https://storage.googleapis.com/rasa-x- releases/0.28.5/install.sh(downloads the Rasa–X repo)
sudo bash ./install.sh
(install the Repo with root permission)
3. Start Rasa X
cd /etc/rasasudo docker-compose up –d(pulls the docker container which has necessary setup instructions for installing database and other requirements)
4. Set your Admin Password
sudo python rasa_x_commands.py create --update admin me <PASSWORD>(password is necessary to accessing the external IP address)
