@jzr54732 Have you made sure that you have installed all the needed dependencies?
Run the command below to install all the needed dependencies:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

I had the same problem and sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt worked for me. You can try sudo pip3 install requests_futures as well.

@luger19 I advice you not to install python packages with sudo.

@sdushantha

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip

I had a similar issue I did the following and it worked:
pip install --upgrade pip
python3.8 sherlock.py --help

for some I was receiving an error that my pip was 8.0.1 even though I had pip 20.0, but upgrade seemed to fix the problem. Also, instead of merely using 'python3' I used 'python3.8' which is the latest version I have installed in addition to python2.7. Hope that helps!!

Run the command below to install all the needed dependencies:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

I have tried that and gotten this /usr/local/bin/python3: No module named pip
and I am using Kali Linux.

@fixitfeelex Looks like you need to install pip. You can easily do that by running this command:

sudo apt install python3-pip

I have tried that but, I get this

Unable to locate package python3-pip

I am now trying to use Ubuntu because Kali Linux wouldn't work. Sorry if this causes misunderstanding or any trouble.

@fixitfeelex This might help you, https://askubuntu.com/a/1061488/782646

I have figured it out, thank you very much. I have a question, did you develop this? I went to Null Byte for help but that didn't work at that time but I think I saw you in the comments?

[sdushantha]

@fixitfeelex Yup, I did indeed create Sherlock, but with the help of @hoadlck and many other developers, we were able to improve it with many features :)

This software is very amazing, you did very well. Thank you.

Null Byte used whois, I need to install that I'm guessing?

[sdushantha]

@fixitfeelex Hmmm...thats strange. whois is not needed for Sherlock to work

[fixitfeelex]

@fixitfeelex Hmmm...thats strange. whois is not needed for Sherlock to work

He did not use it in the sherlock directory, he used it to search information on something. Can I use sherlock to do that without whois installed?

[sdushantha]

@fixitfeelex The whois command that he uses is used to get info about the site which the user uses. Sherlock does not do this. So this means who you have to install the command whois do get this information.

Since I can look up accounts with sherlock, what can I do with the found accounts?

[sdushantha]

@fixitfeelex You can learn about the user's interests, style of writing, where they are from, info about family, etc.

You can do many things with type of information. If you are trying to find a missing person, then this can lead you up to clues. Or if you trying to so social engineer someone, then you can use this info to trick them multiple ways.

In the end of the day, be careful and make sure you use this information for ethical purposes :)

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt when i use this cmmd thet show me
ERROR: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt'

[sdushantha]

@grahulprouhit Make sure that you change your directory to the sherlock folder first.

cd sherlock

Then run the command you previously ran:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
