otlite is the no-Docker edition of OTInstaller for Linux and macOS: [install it](https://otinstaller.com/otlite) with `curl -fsSL https://get.otinstaller.com/otlite | sh`.

## Run it

| Input | otlite command | Socid Extractor receives |
| --- | --- | --- |
| URL | `otlite run socid-extractor -- url:https://example.com` | `socid_extractor --url https://example.com` |

Arguments after `--` that aren't typed inputs go to the tool unchanged.

## What a run leaves

- `results/socid-extractor/https_example.com/<time>_socid-extractor_https_example.com_<run id>.txt`
- `results/socid-extractor/https_example.com/<time>_socid-extractor_https_example.com_<run id>.meta.json`
- `results/socid-extractor/https_example.com/<time>_socid-extractor_https_example.com_<run id>.envelope.json`

The envelope is the same shape for every tool: the tool and version, the input, timing, exit code and status, the emails, domains, IP addresses and URLs found in the output, and the output file's path, hash and size. `otlite results --tool socid-extractor` lists saved runs, `otlite extract socid-extractor` pulls out indicators and `otlite diff socid-extractor https://example.com` compares the two latest runs.

## With other tools

`otlite run --all url:https://example.com` and `otlite auto https://example.com` run it with every other installed tool that takes the same input.
