If I run python3 quickstart.py InstaPy fails to run and returns the following trace:

Hi All,

Managed to install instapy, successful I think😬
Made a very simple quickstart.py which only likes my own feed

During the first start up I encounter the following error but I can not make sense of it

Can someone help?

I've followed the installation guide for my new Raspberry Pi 3B+.
However, first of all I noticed the installation guide misses the fact that you should run
sudo xvfb-run pip3 install Instapy if you want to run using
sudo xvfb-run python quickstart.py

However when I run this I can't login:
CRITICAL Unable to login to Instagram! You will find more information in the logs above.

The log contains the following:

Hi,
When i launch the quickstart.py script, I always seen the same error, for me or my friends testing InstaPy.

If anyone have an issues.. Thanks !

I have successfully gone through most of Digital Ocean set up, but when I am nearing the phase of filling out the quickstart.py on nano, I am reaching a black, blank screen. The tutorial video on youtube (at minute 5:28) moves on very quickly, and I cannot see what Tim is typing in, I think it's "nano qii" but when I type that in and click enter that is when I get the blank, black empty nano screen.

I am a total newbie, and have been working for 3 weeks to get this running again. (I was using it on my local mac first, but chrome updated and even reading dozens of tutorials I can figure out how to make it work again, so decided to try digitalocean...) Please help!

I have followed all the instructions to install instapy onto my raspberry pi zero w and i get this error:

Hi!
I'm trying to install instaPy on my raspberry and I followed your guide in order to do it, but unfortunately I'm running into this error when I try I run sudo python3 quickstart.py and I don't know what to do:

Thanks for the help!

Everything went smooth, I created my quickstart.py but when I run python3 quickstart.py this is the output:

can you please help?

Used the current instructions to install InstaPy on Raspberry Pi availables on docs, but not working very well.

Personally I suggest to update that doc to this instructions that resulted work better. This because on current commands the instapy- chromedriver uninstall and then installation of 2.36.post0 doesn't work.

Theses are my suggested steps for a clean Raspbian Strech Lite install

Install InstaPy

1. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
2. sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
3. sudo apt-get install python3-pip
4. sudo pip3 install instapy
5. sudo pip3 uninstall instapy-chromedriver
6. sudo pip3 install instapy-chromedriver==2.36.post0
7. sudo reboot (optional)
8. mkdir InstaPy Scripts
   (Do not confuse with "InstapPy" dir, that will be created automatically after first use which contais "db", "logs" and "assets" sub-directories)
9. cd InstaPy Scripts
10. nano quickstart.py
11. Edit quickstart file with your credentials/ add functions you want to use, documentation in the main Readme
12. sudo python3 quickstart.py

How to update on Raspberry Pi

Keep your setup updated, but keeping instapy-chromedriver==2.36.post0

1. sudo pip3 install instapy -U
2. sudo pip3 uninstall instapy-chromedriver
3. sudo pip3 install instapy-chromedriver==2.36.post0

Here's another user request to update current Readme for RPi with proposed instructions. To suggest directly this update on current files is necessary to make a commit?

Whenever I try to run quickstart.py I get this error:

Tried to google around and re-installed the raspberrypi OS, but not effects.

It would be nice if Instapy could provide some graphical analytics to better understand the effectiveness of a given campaign.

I am trying to set up instapy through digital ocean, but I am getting these error after I fill out the login credentials. Please help, I have tried to find documentation on this through github and digitalocean and am not coming up with anything. Thanks.

Followed all the instructions in guide for installing on a pi.
running latest version of Raspbian.
InstaPy Version: 0.6.13,
Mozilla Firefox 78.6.1esr,
Python 2.7.16,
Lastest selenium (can't work out how to check that..)
Geckodriver 0.23.0 downloaded and tried in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin neither changed the erros and both on $PATH

Please can someone suggest how I could fix it. At the moment nothing manages to load it just crashes with the errors below. Problems I thought of but i don't know how to fix; Geckodriver version not working with current firefox version? Location of Geckodriver needing specified somehow?

Or maybe I messed up something else.... ? I can't get it working running either with a test script or instapy quickstart.

Lately Instagram shows the user a PopUp to Accept Cookies.
InstaPy doesn't handle that yet, so every LogIn fails.

I fixed it myself so if you need it too, just copy my Code:

1. Find your Python Instapy directory. (For me it is somewhere in C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Packages\)
2. Open the instapy directory and find login_util.py
3. Go to the line right befor the Login (For me thats around line 273)
4. Copy following Code in there

#Check if Cookie PopUp is visible
    try:
        cookie_elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//button[text()='Accept']")
    except:
        cookie_elem = None

    if cookie_elem is not None:
        cookie_elem.click()

If this is too much for you, just download my attached file and put it in your instapy directory.
login_util.zip
