Libraries and Modules
Redis not found on Windows + VsCode 2 solutions:
Installing WSL can lead to a host of problems, which is why we don't want to promote that. We provided a much simpler solution by providing a redis-server.exe application (which is developed for Windows!). If these students really run on windows, they should try again running the redis-server.exe in a terminal.
Install Redis through WSL (Linux), so naturally it won't be accessible through regular Powershell terminal, therefore before running redis commands I had to connect to WSL Ubuntu (command: wsl -d Ubuntu), and then try to run the redis command, which worked for me.
Shoutout to the student who gave me this solution!
Repository
Intent and Slot Classifier
Training your NLU model but met errors with 'NoneType' although you did developed the model:
Due to how the imports are set up and because the nlu (intent and slot classifier) service is part of the social-interaction-cloud python package when you make changes you need to make sure to reinstall the social interaction cloud via pip install .

Unsolved Errors - with Possible Solutions
Issue with PyAudio (on MacBook):
Try: conda install portaudio pyaudio (if this works, please let us know, so we can mark this issue to resolved)
Microphone issue:
Error similar to the one below, related to DesktopMicrophoneSensor. Most likely, this happens when you try to access the microphone more than once. Make sure you don’t run the code in more than one environment simultaneously.
