theHarvester.py: error: the following arguments are required: -d/--domain

The program then closes itself & brings me back to the terminal

Re: [SOLVED] .py error: the following arguments are required

And? That is a pretty clear error message.

What is your question?

Out of interest, how did you install this application?

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues

Re: [SOLVED] .py error: the following arguments are required

I did forget to mention, Idk if it was the right thing to try but I tried to run the program as "theharvester -d" & "theharvester --domain" but it gave me a different error

theHarvester.py: error: argument -d/--domain: expected one argument

Re: [SOLVED] .py error: the following arguments are required

run theharvester -h .

If that doesn't help, do a search with theharvester and example as keywords.
