 In order for soup to proceed, the path to the downloaded Security Onion ISO file, or the path to the CD-ROM or equivalent device containing the ISO media must be provided. 
 For example, if you have copied the new Security Onion ISO file to your home directory, then the path might look like /home/myuser/securityonion-2.x.y.iso. 
 Or, if you have burned the new ISO onto an optical disk then the path might look like /dev/cdrom.
