We have a currently outstanding bug in the installation process.

This is the fix: [https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/pull/1083](https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/pull/1083)

However, it hasn’t been fully tested. Stay tuned.

most likely: `python3 -m pip install setuptools`

and then run the installation script again. Most likely. I don’t have a broken box so it’s hard for me to know.
