Windows likes to be different... Assuming the package is installed, you should be able to run it with Also, just a tip --- you don't need to download any of the zip files provided by GitHub. The package manager (pip, pipx, etc) sources the files from PyPI. |

Hello everyone, good afternoon!
I'm a beginner and I'm just starting to learn how to use Sherlock, but I'm facing some difficulties. Could anyone help me?
Let me explain what's happening:
I downloaded Python 3.14.2 and the Sherlock ZIP file here from GitHub. I installed Python by checking both options during installation and verified in the command prompt that everything was correct:
python --version ✓
pip --version ✓
Then, I installed Sherlock using the command pipx install sherlock-project in CMD. The installation completed successfully, but here's where the problem started: when I try to run sherlock user123 or even sherlock --help, nothing happens at all.
I've already tried several solutions:
Entering the sherlock_project directory and running it from there
Using python sherlock user123
Using python3 sherlock user123
Using python3 sherlock.py user123
Going to the Python directory where sherlock.exe is located and running it directly
None of these alternatives worked.
I've searched for videos and tutorials online, but all the ones I found are from 3 years ago, when it was still necessary to install the requirements.txt file. Since the current version doesn't have this file, I haven't found any updated tutorial, forum, or video explaining this process. Even here on GitHub, most people are using Kali Linux.
Could anyone help me understand what's happening?
I appreciate any guidance in advance!
