Hi, guys.

Apologies if this is not appropriate, I just feel like I'm falling over at the first hurdle...

I'm following the tutorial [Create your own beat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/new-beat.html) but when it comes to actually building it I am getting no where...

When I get to this step [Fetching dependencies and setting up the beat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/setting-up-beat.html) I get an error:

'docker-compose 1.23.1 has requirement PyYAML\<4, \>=3.10, but you'll have pyyaml 4.2b1 which is incompaible'

The only hint this is an error, is that the text isin red, it does continue to "build" but a countbeat executable is not produced... I have searched extensively on the forum and I cannot find a similar issue.

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated, I have done as much as I can to ensure I have PyYAML 3.10+ installed, but I cannot find a reference to pyyaml 4.2b1 on my machine.

For reference I'm trying to build on aarch64

I was able to produce the executable by running  
`$ go build` in the countbeat folder (`$GOPATH/src/github.com/{user}/countbeat/`). I'm confused why I had to run this.

Also the Makefile in `$GOPATH/src/github.com/{user}/countbeat/Makefile` doesn't appear to have anything that suggests it produces an executable. when I run `$ make` nothing happens. Am I missing something obvious?
