I am on Mac OS. I was only able to install the Development build as nothing I did seemed to get terminal to recognise anything in the stable build. just gives me 'ERROR: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt''. syntax errors when I try to tweak it. Then when I get the dev build to launch, I open it in browser, search something and it comes back as 'finished' in under a minute with no elements.
In the log, theres hundreds of "failed to connect to [insert website]". It also says `'OSError: Tried to set up the SpiderFoot database schema, but failed". the full line was this:

'Exception (OSError) in module sfp_cookie.Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/Computer/spiderfoot/spiderfoot/db.py", line 353, in init sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/Computer/spiderfoot/spiderfoot/db.py", line 408, in create sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/computer/spiderfoot/spiderfoot/db.py", line 358, in init File "/Users/computer/spiderfoot/spiderfoot/db.py", line 422, in create OSError: SQL error encountered when setting up database The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/Computer/spiderfoot/spiderfoot/plugin.py", line 502, in threadWorker File "/Users/Computer/spiderfoot/spiderfoot/db.py", line 360, in init OSError: Tried to set up the SpiderFoot database schema, but failed'

the closest I have found to someone experiencing the same problem is in 2023 here: #1829 - I tried the instructions laid out https://nixintel.info/osint-tools/getting-started-with-spiderfoot/ as well as other articles but still tons of errors (syntaxt, no such file or directory, command not found etc).

does anyone know of a fix for this? I am not a coder by any means, so sorry if the answer is obvious
