[Oisf-users] Properly installing Suricata-Update on latest version of Suricata

[419telegraph298 at protonmail.com]

Dear Shivani,

Thank for your advice -

I located the directory in /home/pi/.local/bin/suricata-update

I deleted the directory /usr/local/bin

I attempted to add it to PATH with this command " PATH=/home/pi/.local/bin/suricata-update:~/opt/bin"

but I am still getting "command not found" when I run suricata-update

and when I try to install again with pip:

pi at raspberrypi:~ $ pip install --user --upgrade suricata-update
Collecting suricata-update
Collecting pyyaml (from suricata-update)
Installing collected packages: pyyaml, suricata-update
Successfully installed pyyaml-3.13 suricata-update-1.0.3
pi at raspberrypi:~ $ suricata-update
-bash: suricata-update: command not found
