Description
When following the current install instructions:
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip libpq5 libjpeg-dev
cd /usr/local/src/
sudo git clone https://github.com/MISP/misp-modules.git
cd misp-modules
sudo pip3 install -I -r REQUIREMENTS
sudo pip3 install -I .
sudo vi /etc/rc.local, add this line: `sudo -u www-data misp-modules -s &`
misp-modules #to start the modules
the GeoIP module will not be functioning for two reasons:
- the file
geoip_country.cfgis not being copied to the file system at/usr/... - the file
GeoIP.datis not being installed at the location corresponding togeoip_country.cfg
Suggest to clarify install instructions, or can this be handled by sudo pip3 install ?

Research direction
Review the install instructions, REQUIREMENTS, geoip_country.cfg, GeoIP.dat, and the /etc/rc.local command to determine how GeoIP is expected to be installed. Update the instructions or document the required handling so a fresh installation places both GeoIP files correctly and the GeoIP module functions.
