Installation - Sherlock Project |
[pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/) is often recommended over pip, having more predictable behavior.
```bash
pipx install sherlock-project
```
<Note>
For those who prefer classic pip, it's very similar. Userspace is recommended.
```bash
pip install --user sherlock-project
```
</Note>
That's it! You can now run sherlock from anywhere.
```bash
sherlock --version
```
That's it! You can now run sherlock from anywhere.
```bash
sherlock --version
```
We may begin to officially support this package in the future.
</Info>
Supported distributions are __Kali__ and __ParrotOS__. Work is underway to support Debian, Ubuntu, and others.
```bash
sudo apt install sherlock
```
That's it! You can now run sherlock from anywhere.
```bash
sherlock --version
```

<Info>
This is an officially supported package, maintained by a member of the Sherlock Project itself.
Sherlock has out-of-the-box support for Fedora. Enterprise Linux support through EPEL is __planned__.
Enterprise Linux distributions are RHEL, CentOS, Alma, Rocky, Oracle, and Scientific.

```bash
sudo dnf install sherlock-project
```
That's it! You can now run sherlock from anywhere.
```bash
sherlock --version
```
That's it! You can now run sherlock from anywhere.

```bash
docker pull sherlock/sherlock
```
Sherlock doesn't yet have context detection. It's recommended that Docker containers be ran with option -o /opt/sherlock/results/{user123}.txt
(replace {user123}
) when an output file is desired at the mounted volume (as seen in the compose). This has no effect on stdout, which functions as expected out of the box.
# One-off searches
docker run --rm -t sherlock/sherlock user123
# If you need to save the output file... (modify as needed)
# Output file will land in ${pwd}/results
docker run --rm -t -v "$PWD/results:/opt/sherlock/results" sherlock/sherlock -o /opt/sherlock/results/text.txt user123
# At any time, you may update the image via this command
docker pull sherlock/sherlock
version: "3"
services:
sherlock:
container_name: sherlock
image: sherlock/sherlock
volumes:
- ./sherlock/:/opt/sherlock/results/
docker compose run sherlock user123
# Assumes ${pwd} is repository root
docker build -t sherlock .
docker run --rm -t sherlock user123
## Build live package from source (useful for contributors)
Building an editable (or live) package links the entry point to your current directory, rather than to the standard install location. This is often useful when working with the code base, as changes are reflected immediately without reinstallation.
Note that the version number will be 0.0.0 for pipx local builds unless manually changed in the pyproject file (it will prompt the user for an update).
```bash
pipx install -e .
```
## Run package from source (without installing)
If you'd rather not install directly to your system, you can import the module at runtime with -m.
```bash
python3 -m sherlock_project user123 user789
```
