For each post, the bot will like, comment and follow the author.\nAs with Twitter, many users often follow the people who follow them.\nThis bot therefore works on the « follow back » principle.\n\n![image1](https://github.com/Estayparadox/InstaBot/blob/master/src/images/IMG_1869.png)\n![image2](https://github.com/Estayparadox/InstaBot/blob/master/src/images/IMG_1872.png)\n![image3](https://github.com/Estayparadox/InstaBot/blob/master/src/images/IMG_1897.jpeg)\n\n## How to use InstaBot\n\n### 1. Prerequisites\nTo be able to run this little bot, you’ll need to have:\n* Python\n* Selenium\n* Chromedriver or Geckodriver\n* Google Chrome (English version) or Mozilla Firefox \n\n**Install Python**\n\nIf you don't have python installed, follow [this link](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and download the latest version of python.\nThen you can check if your version of python using the command lines bellow\n```shell\npython3 --version\npip3 --version\n```\n\n**Install Selenium**\n\nThen you need to install [selenium](https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/installation.html) using pip\n```shell\npip3 install selenium\n```\n\n**Install you driver**\n\nDepending of the browser you use, install [Chromedriver](http://chromedriver.chromium.org) or [Geckodriver](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver) and put the binary file in the `src/` folder.\n\n### 2. Configuration\nThese two lines are designed to authenticate you on Instagram. Basically  change **your_username** and **your_password** to your Instagram credentials in the `src/start.py` file.\n```python\naccount_name=\"your_username\"\naccount_password=\"your_password\"\n```\nThis is the hashtags your bot will reach to find random posts and persons to comment / like / follow.\nChange this line with your custom tags, here I’m using **trip**, **dronephotography** and **traveler** tags.\n\n```python\nhashtag_list = ['trip', 'dronephotography', 'traveler']\n```\n\n### 4. Install all libraries\n\nYou can install all the libraries and modules used in this project using the below command.  \n\n```shell\npip3 install -r src/requirements.txt  \n```\n\n### 3.
