# Instabot
Yet another Instagram bot with Instapy
## Tools
- Selenium + webdriver for Firefox
- Firefox
- Python
- [Instapy](https://instapy.org/)
## Instructions
- Install Selenium:
`pip install selenium`
- Install geckodriver (webdriver for Firefox):
Download the latest version from their [official repository](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases)
`tar -zxvf geckodriver-v0.27.0-linux64.tar.gz`
`sudo mv geckodriver /usr/local/bin`
`chmod +x geckodriver`
- Install Firefox:
`sudo apt install firefox`
- Install & update Instapy:
`pip install instapy`
`pip install instapy -U`
- Modify Instapy to accept cookies:
Lately, there's been a change on Instagram's login page, and calling the login function from instapy doesn't work anymore because the cookies are missing.
[Here](https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/issues/5834) you can find a temporary solution.
In case you use linux, you can locate the Python Instapy directory using the comand `find`.
