Rasa UI Install

Node.js/npm - Serves Rasa UI and acts as a middleware server for logging (to the PostgreSQL DB)

Pre-install check

• Check your RASA NLU is up and running correctly e.g. curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/status
• Check that PostgreSQL is running e.g. sudo service --status-all | grep postgres
• Check nodejs is installed e.g. node -v

Installing

Please ensure prerequisites are fulfilled

Clone/download the Rasa UI repository

git clone https://github.com/paschmann/rasaui.git

Step 1. Install the dependencies

cd rasaui
rasaui > npm install

Step 2. Update your package.json file to include the IP Addresses of your rasa server and the connection string of your postgres instance.

Step 3. Optional: Update your web/src/app.js file to include the IP Addresses of your local middleware server (no need to change this if the front end and middleware server are running on the same instance)

Step 4. Run HTTP server and middleware

rasaui > npm start
