[KywoSkylake]

Dear Team,

So I tried to run it with root and also with www-data without sudo and it worked, but when I try to start /var/www/MISP/venv/bin/misp-modules -l 127.0.0.1 -s, I receive an other error

No module named 'misp_modules.modules.expansion._ransomcoindb'

Can please someone look into it, thank you Mike

From your log:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/cyber/.cache/pip/wheels/9e/fc/df/442b636248b5960ee06d9b6f2aaf944d217ffad39d129c8436'

It seems that you mixed up install via multiple users and the pip install never completed.

I am suffering the same issue, any recommendations on how to proceed on such cases?

[KywoSkylake]

Hey @GelosSnake,

Try to start it with: /var/www/MISP/venv/bin/misp-modules -l 127.0.0.1

Same issue, If i run /var/www/MISP/venv/bin/misp-modules -l 127.0.0.1 I get no such file or directory.

This is pretty stale, maybe it should be closed?

But just in case, I'd like to suggest that these install troubles suggest that maybe people are not familiar with python virtual environments, which is the recommended way to install misp-modules. The user that owns the virtual environment directory should also be the user that runs pip (pip3) install commands. If the install fails, then the script will not create the misp-modules file in your venv bin subdir.
