Description

Wrong file path for suricata.yaml in the Quick Start guide > Basic Setup
https://docs.suricata.io/en/latest/quickstart.html#basic-setup

The path mentioned in the guide: `/etc/suricata/suricata.yaml`

Seems it was changed. Path that is shown in the terminal while executing the command `./configure && make && make install-full`

`/usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata.yaml`

These docs are correct given the guide in question. This quick start guide is basead on the Ubuntu package the OISF provides, in this package, the configuration file is at /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml.
