Bro did not get installed correctly. Are you running on Debian 9 by any chance? You'll need to add a couple of additional packages to get Bro installed.

Great project, however I am also experiencing exactly the same issue on raspbian on a pi 3. All prerequisites are installed.

Please help :(

Thank you.

The only workaround i found for this was to install bro first from source, then make install, then run the installer script. That way the first bro install will have the directories, and then the installer will overwrite the necessary config files. At least thats what it did for me.

I am seeing same issue. I installed any listed dependencies using raspbian lite.

Edit: NM still doesnt work.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 257, in <module>
    bro.install(chosenInterface, esServer)
  File "/home/pi/SweetSecurity/install/bro.py", line 45, in install

This appears to be a compatibility issue with Bro and by openssl 1.1. Using libssl1.0-dev instead of libssl-dev seems to work around this for now (you can change which package gets installed in install/packages.py).

[jamitupya]

can confirm that my experience is the same here. i've been dealing with it on deb jessie also, same result, remove the offending package "apt-get remove libssl-dev -y" and then install "apt-get install libssl1.0-dev -y" gets it done.

additionally, you WILL need to update "install/packages.py" lines 24,26,38 and 40 accordingly otherwise it reinstalls and kills it again.

+1 - Updating the dependencies and modd'ing the lines per jamitupya fixed the issue. Now on to using the tool!
