+* If `node_modules/` is not in the `contracts/` directory of your project, you may need to use **remappings**. If a project has dependencies such as OpenZeppelin and you want to run Slither on a single `.sol` file, add the remapping on the command line e.g. `--solc-remaps @=node_modules/@` or to the `slither.config.json` in your project's root. Note, this should not be required for Foundry projects as it is handled automatically.
