I am trying to install ElastAlert. I have tried both ways described in their documentation:
1: Installing via pip: pip install elastalert
The installation fails when trying to install "blist".
2: Cloning the repo, installing the setup.py file with python setup.py install
The script fails when trying to install "blist".
So then I have tried to install "blist" separately with:
pip install blist, which fails.
and I downloaded the .exe installation file for "blist" which opens and tells me I do need Python 2.6 to install it. I have 3.8.1 installed so that should not really be the problem right?
I am at the end of tether here and would really appreciate some help :)
