Description

I installed on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 18.04 in Azure.

PROBLEM
Upon running the ./generate_config.py I encountered the "ImportError: No module named yaml" error.

Running pip install yaml results in:

Collecting yaml
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement yaml (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for yaml

SOLUTION
Run pip install pyyaml or if you want to install machine-wide run apt-get install python-yaml

I suggest either updating the dependencies or reflect this somewhere in the documentation.

Research direction

Start with generate_config.py and inspect the repository's dependency configuration and installation documentation. Confirm which dependency provides the yaml import, then ensure a fresh Ubuntu installation has clear instructions or a declared dependency and verify that generate_config.py runs without the ImportError.
