Question

ASK YOUR QUESTION HERE

Is there a way to go about using Sherlock outside of the directory it's installed in?
Forgive if this is something obvious. If it is, just a keyword that I can search on how to do so would be appreciated.
I noticed someone mentioned the MAIN_ issue and the answer was that it needed to happen in the directory.

@DroWnThePoor if you didn't use a virtualenv to install dependencies, you can add an alias to your bash profile, something like this:

alias sher="python3 [path to the sherlock root]/sherlock/sherlock"

Thank you I can give this a try, but I'm not sure if I used virtuallenv or not as I cloned/built Sherlock a couple years ago, originally.
I'm pretty sure I did us Pip for dependencies at some point, but virtualenv is something you set manually for isolating dependencies to a specific build tree?
I'm not a real dev so I'm guessing based on a cursory search of the term.

If you just use pip to install without doing anything like python -m venv ... then you most probably didn't use a venv for your installation.
