Weatherbot: Could not run the new version of code to create a custom channel to create widget

[vishnudatsci]

I used the Advanced Usage with a custom Rasa Core project as Custom Channel from Python using https://github.com/scalableminds/chatroom as suggested in RASA docs.

I updated the libraries using the new version of weatherbot tutorial, and tried to run the following code 'run_application.py' . The code reference is from https://github.com/scalableminds/chatroom

from rasa_core.channels.slack import SlackInput
from rasa_core.agent import Agent
from rasa_core.interpreter import RasaNLUInterpreter
import yaml
from rasa_core.utils import EndpointConfig


nlu_interpreter = RasaNLUInterpreter('./models/nlu/default/weathernlu')
action_endpoint = EndpointConfig(url="http://localhost:5055/webhook")
agent = Agent.load('./models/dialogue', interpreter = nlu_interpreter, action_endpoint = action_endpoint)


# Creating the Interpreter and Agent
def load_agent(): 
    nlu_interpreter = RasaNLUInterpreter('./models/nlu/default/productnlu')
    agent = Agent.load('./models/dialogue', interpreter = nlu_interpreter)
    #return agent

# Creating the server
def main_server():
    agent = load_agent()

    channel = BotServerInputChannel(agent, port=5005)
    agent.handle_channels([channel], http_port=5005)

main_server()

After installing the specified packages in 'requirements.txt' file and running the above code, I get the following error.

tf.estimator package not installed.

Tried to update tensorflow package, still did not work. What is the version of tensorflow to be used?
