If you have trouble with new checkers not working correctly when running cve-bin-tool directly from the command line without installing (e.g. python -m cve_bin_tool.cli /directory), try running

python setup.py bdist_egg

There's a fix in #672 for folk who have installed a local copy. This is the workaround if you don't have something installed.

Running python setup.py egg_info will be enough because it only updates egg info while python setup.py bdist_egg will update egg info and also create a binary dist but It won't be necessary now since I have fixed it in PR #672.

Now all you need to do is run pip install -e . command once.

Awesome! Yeah, I just wanted this up as an open issue for anyone who hasn't been doing it that way, since we don't have the readme instructions updated yet.

We made some changes to when the egg updater runs in the last release and we've updated the documentation. I think this bug can be safely closed.
