Warning: This document is for an old version of Rasa Platform.

Python package installation

The enterprise version of the python Rasa packages are hosted on a private pypi server (instead of the publicly available instance that pip install uses by default).

To access these dependencies when developing an application locally or when building containers in a CI environment you need to

1. create an account to access the private packages
2. add your credentials before trying to pull packages with pip install

Access to private Rasa pip repository

Your license file (rasa_platform.yml) contains authentication credentials for the private python package registry of Rasa.

Your default credentials are contained in the fields pypi_repository_password and pypi_repository_user in your license file.

Optionally, you can register additional accounts, if you need them, at https://pypi.rasa.ai/login . Choose a username and submit your account for approval by clicking Register.

After you completed your account registration, please use your support email address to inform us of your account creation so we can validate your additional accounts.

Setting up pip authentication

You can manually enter your credentials and pip will ask for the credentials, e.g.

> pip install -i https://pypi.rasa.ai/simple/ rasa-extensions
Collecting rasa-extensions
User for pypi.rasa.ai: test
Password:

To automate this, you can add your credentials to your ~/.pypirc:

# ~/.pypirc
[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi
    rasa

[pypi] # https://www.python.org/pypi
username:
password:

[rasa]
repository: https://pypi.rasa.ai/simple/
username: USERNAME
password: PASSWORD

Replacing USERNAME and PASSWORD with your authentication credentials.
