Question
ASK YOUR QUESTION HERE Ok so I have been trying to get sherlock to work on my pc with windows 11. I cannot for the life of me figure it out. The instructions seem simple enough, but my computer isn't recognizing any of the prompts. syntax errors, doesn't recognize, doesn't exits so on and so forth. I am running python 3 as I just installed it. I have done a lot of reading today with no improvement in functionality on either front. Can someone help me getting this to work?
Hi @kj5dpi, thanks for opening this issue.
Could you provide more information, please? What command are you trying to execute, and what error messages are you getting in these attempts?
I'm trying to get Sherlock installed , my computer will not recognize the code #$~ etc. , along with words like (git), I have downloaded git , didn't work, updated Python, it allows me to update the pips and pandas but still nothing.

@kj5dpi, the $ character is not part of the command. It's just to signify in the documentation that it's a command to be used in the terminal.
You should only use what comes after it. For example, use only this to clone the project on your machine:
git clone https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock.git
Just follow the same logic for the other commands.
I also tried that , it didn't work last night, I've also tried the git clone with the provided line and with just the link it doesn't seems to recognize the issue, I also thought well maybe try the search and the search doesn't work so I think it's a PC bug I may not be able to to fix.

@kj5dpi Try reinstalling git and python, and make sure they are added to the system's path. Usually, there's a checkbox in the installer interface to add the program to the path.
After that, if the issue persists, show me via screenshot or a copy of the message returned when you try to execute one of the commands.
@kj5dpi Have you added Git to your environment variables? If not then refer to the following video, minute 1:40: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt9oDAvpG4I
Hello, I installed sherlock and python on my PC and tested. The first day it worked normally, but then it didn't want to work anymore. The error "ERROR: string indices must be integers, not 'str' " keeps appearing every time I try to search for a new user. I already went through the entire installation process and it didn't help. What can I do in this case?
@matheusfelixsm
I might know what's up. What's the command you ran? Knowing what you ran specifically helps with reproducing & diagnosing the error.
Apologies @matheusfelipeog for the mis-ping, lol
No problem haha
I did it in this exact order the first time:
cd .\sherlock-master
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python --help
python sherlock matheusfelix
The second time I just went into the Sherlock folder again and asked directly to search like I did in the last code I sent above
@matheusfelixsm
This error is being presented as a result of a recent change to data.json (the file that lists all the sites to check), which older versions apparently don't parse properly.
The easiest fix for now will be simply redownloading Sherlock so that you have the new code.
Alternatively, if you can't redownload right now, --local will tell it to use your local copy instead of the new one from online.
I'll make some tweaks so other people don't encounter this blindly
I had downloaded the .zip file last week
I downloaded it again now and it really worked, thank you very much, I am testing right now
Hello people, I was wondering if you cloud help me out, Sherlock says he needs an update and i dont know how lol. i cant even execute sherlock and make it search for my personal accounts.
You are running version 0.14.3. Version 0.15.0 is available at https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock ERROR: string indices must be integers, not 'str'
Thank you for your time, see ya
Im using kali linux and i instaled it by cloning the github and installing python3. I looked on some youtube videos and they all said to download the requierments.txt which kali says it no longer exists. Your doing nothing wrong im just a dummy :)
@jyoeymama
That's actually not a supported method anymore --- a lot of tutorials are out of date
Since you're on Kali you have two options ---
pip install sherlock-project -- this pulls it from PyPI directly
sudo apt install sherlock -- this pulls it from the Kali repos
It really doesn't matter which method you pick in this case. The first method will receive updates faster, but the second method will update automatically when you update Kali. Not a big enough difference to matter to most people.
You don't need to clone the repo for either --- just run that and you're done
