On Windows 10 using Msys2 / Mingw64 - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'grp' #2483

IntelMQ seems to be of a *nix slant in this environment. I don't know of any provider for this module. Please advise.

$ intelmqsetup.exe --help

Hey,

It's a standard module available on *nix systems: https://docs.python.org/3/library/grp.html

I have to say, Windows isn't in scope of supported systems, and although you may overcome this particular problem by modifying the intelmqsetup.py script, I won't expect IntelMQ to work on Windows. We rely heavily on e.g. process management, which may behave differently on Windows.

If you're using Windows, I would suggest trying WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or, the best option, use a virtual machine with one of supported systems

I'm using a work laptop without Admin privs in a tightly regulated $dayjob, so WSL on this system is not likely. I have it running on another work system, will give it a try there. Thanks for the response and advice.

Also, I would expect this issue to be closed / cancelled as not supported. Thanks.
