[Beginner] Download help

[NohaChoi]

Hello this is just another one of those complete beginner being confused posts. I am on windows and using vscode and trying to install/run the program(?).

I've done the following so far.

downloaded git and python
git clone https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock.git
cd sherlock
sherlock testname1

For some reason the command isn't recognized, any ideas why?

I have also tried the same process on cmd to the same results.
Thank you and will try to respond quickly.

Neither vscode nor git should be necessary (cloning is an older method, but no longer supported)

I'd point you to the Readme for current methods but I don't think Windows is actually documented yet... we should add that...

On Windows, assuming you have Python installed...this probably works:

python -m pip install sherlock-project
python -m sherlock_project user123

Running the first command results in

lots of "Requirement satisfied"

Unfortunately this is the result I am getting from running the 2nd command.

Typo on my end (just edited my first reply to fix it)

While the package is sherlock-project, the importable module is sherlock_project. Hyphens normally translate to underscores.

Try python -m sherlock_project ... and let me know how it goes

On most platforms this isn't necessary -- Windows just likes to be special
