Install Maigret (Linux/macOS/Windows)
Option A: Install from GitHub (most common)
git clone https://github.com/soxoj/maigret && cd maigret
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt


Maigret requires Python 3.7+.

Option B: Run it without “installing” (still from the repo)

After cloning + requirements:

python3 maigret --help


(That’s how the project demonstrates running it.)

How to use Maigret (the stuff that matters)
1) Basic username scan (show only hits)
python3 maigret --print-found someusername


This is the core workflow shown in the project demo.

2) Try recursive discovery (find related usernames)
python3 maigret --ids --print-found --skip-errors someusername


That example is straight from the demo section.

3) Pro tip

Start with one username, then rerun on any aliases it discovers. Maigret’s strength is correlation across platforms.
