Unable to start ElastAlert : Only timezones from the pytz library are supported

Question

Unable to test rule in elastic, I am running following command in terminal

elastalert-test-rule --config config.yaml example_rules/example_frequency.yaml

  File "/usr/local/bin/elastalert-test-rule", line 11, in <module>

TypeError: Only timezones from the pytz library are supported

I have done following steps :

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y python3-tzlocal

Also, Added 'tzlocal<3.0', to setup.py

But after all this also I am getting the same error.

Please help!

You may try running setup again : python3 setup.py install
