• If error DOI not found appears it means sci hub could not retrieve the paper, you might need to override default sci-hub URL with a mirror, like so:

SCI_HUB_URL=https://sci-hub.wf/ doi2pdf --name "Attention is all you need" --open

• If error Paper not found appears, you might want to try another way to retrieve the research paper, using DOI instead of name or name instead of URL.
