[OISF/outreachy] Errors in main.py

[Himanshi Mathur]

Sir/Ma'am
I installed Suricata as per the guidelines however when I run main.py in
the terminal I get the following error as shown below. I want o know that I
have to encounter them or some installation is not done properly since it
says fail to open suricata.yaml.



17/3/2019 -- 19:54:24 - <Error> -- [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_FATAL(171)] - failed to
