Hello, you're most likely running an older Sherlock version that references a deprecated link (now broken). If you've already tried
pipx upgrade sherlock-project
and it didn't install Sherlock v0.15.0, this is likely due to your Python version. There's a known issue with pip/pipx forcing installation of outdated/broken Sherlock versions if you're using an older Python version (3.9 and earlier).To fix this:
python --version
pipx upgrade sherlock-project
again afterward, make sure it'sSherlock v0.15.0
For more detailed troubleshooting steps, see this GitHub comment.

ah...so what if it is installing version 0.15.0 lol
as much as it would make more sense, I just don't have the time to actually sit and debug Sherlock, especially over an ssh tunnel
