Answer 1

Please specify the Operating system and version of rasa and python you are using for Installation?

Prebuilt wheels for Windows and Mac OS X include pandoc. If you use Linux and have your own wheelhouse, you can build a wheel which include pandoc with python setup.py download_pandoc; python setup.py bdist_wheel. Be aware that this works only on 64bit intel systems

Use correct version of Python

The error you are receiving normally comes when there is version compatibility issue!
