Got error:

@ig0r74 The package phpfastcache/phpfastcache is NOT included by default as a required dependency. I assume it has to be.

Anyway, the documentation contains described error.

use Phpfastcache\Helper\Psr16Adapter;

$instagram = \InstagramScraper\Instagram::withCredentials('username', 'password', new Psr16Adapter('Files'));

change this method in Instagram.php to ====>

public static function withCredentials($username, $password)
{
if (static::$instanceCache == null) {
static::$instanceCache = new Psr16Adapter('Files');
}
$instance = new self();
$instance->sessionUsername = $username;
$instance->sessionPassword = $password;
return $instance;
}

@benlumley
I suggest to you expand Argument 3 and Psr16Adapter in README project. And set this package by default.
And also seem should change argument 3 ('/path/to/cache/folder') in all examples:

$instagram = \InstagramScraper\Instagram::withCredentials('username', 'password', '/path/to/cache/folder');

@zubairsultan786
Did you install Phpfastcache first ?

composer require phpfastcache/phpfastcache
