Posh Server doesn't start because of missing python modules; e.g. yaml

Description

After installing PoshC2 on Kali through the bash script, creating a new project and configuring the config file the posh-server will not start because it says the yaml module is missing. Did anyone had this issue before?

Hi - did you see this PR https://github.com/nettitude/PoshC2/pull/280

Might get you going. We are in the process of pushing a new version so hopefully v9 will be out soon or try installing that branch as well
