HELP!

[KMH418]

Can someone PLEASE help me understand this? HOW do I use it? I don't know much about coding. All I've done was on myspace YEARS ago. What do I do with the code, to use it as is?

Hi @KMH418,

Open your terminal and use the following commands:

• git clone https://github.com/soxoj/socid-extractor
• then type cd socid-extractor
• then pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• as a test, use this command: socid_extractor --url https://www.deviantart.com/muse1908

Make sure you have Python Installed,Download Here
Pip3 should come with python, after the python download, to check type pip3 --version

Git should be on your computer already, type git --version to check.
if it's not installed, simply install it | See tutorial

[C3n7ral051nt4g3ncy]

But is it not supposed to bring back info with the socid_extractor --url https://www.deviantart.com/muse1908 ?

You are correct, it should bring back results, meaning there is something that has not been installed correctly.

[KMH418]

So I'm guessing this is an issue with how I downloaded the repository, not the python/pip... Should I go back and DL the zip?

[C3n7ral051nt4g3ncy]

There is no need to undo any zip for the repository.
If you installed git correctly, all you need to do is this:

git clone https://github.com/soxoj/socid-extractor

If you already have it, delete it and start a fresh, don't forget that once you have changed directory, to install the requirements.txt file.

its not possible that you don't have pip3 as it now comes bundles with new versions of python. to see if you have it correctly type:
pip3 --version and enter

C:\Users\chari>pip3 --version

See screenshot from my terminal:

[C3n7ral051nt4g3ncy]

@KMH418 When you did cd socid-extractror, did you actually then do pip install -r requirements.txt?

[KMH418]

"Open your terminal and use the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/soxoj/socid-extractor
then type cd socid-extractor
then pip3 install -r requirements.txt
as a test, use this command: socid_extractor --url https://www.deviantart.com/muse1908 "

I just did all this ^^ after deleting the pre-existing Socid file from my comp.

[C3n7ral051nt4g3ncy]

and?

[KMH418]

Everything is good until i give the final command and it tells me the same thing:

C:\Users\chari\socid-extractor>socid_extractor --url https://www.deviantart.com/muse1908
'socid_extractor' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

I've deleted the socid file and reinstalled it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Git..... I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

[C3n7ral051nt4g3ncy]

@KMH418 As I said above, you maybe have to use :
pip install -r requirements.txt instead of pip3

[KMH418]

I went through what I did for the one that did work and applied it to this one...

[C3n7ral051nt4g3ncy]

That's great news! Now you have it.
All good, just adapt the commands to what you want to look for !

Nice. Glad I stay away from Windows though! It's a headache.

[KMH418]

Thank you SOOO Much! You are awesome! Sorry I took up so much of your Labor Day but hope you have a fantastic rest of it!! Thanks again!
