Getting this error and, indeed, I can't find any pyvirtualdisplay file. Wut do?

[timgrossmann]

@Spiz Did you install it?

pip3.5 install pyvirtualdisplay

Note: You only need the virutaldisplay if you want to run it on a server. Maybe I'll remove that lines in the next update on master ;)

[Spiz]

Whoops! Still new to python, thanks!

[timgrossmann]

@Spiz That's no problem at all 😉

Hope everything is working fine now.

equirement already satisfied: pyvirtualdisplay in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages
Requirement already satisfied: EasyProcess in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages (from pyvirtualdisplay)

but it still says

ImportError: No module named pyvirtualdisplay

[timgrossmann]

@Arinerron What machine are you running it on?

[Arinerron]

Using a server running Mint. I can use my main distro (Arch) if you think it has something to do with the OS. If you mean hardware, Intel Core i3 530 @ 4x 2.933GHz.

[timgrossmann]

@Arinerron Hmm... I can't help you with that, sorry...
There are two guides for Ubuntu and CentOS

[Arinerron]

Mint is based on Ubuntu, so it should work. Uses same package manager too.

@Arinerron I've got the same issue. How I solved the issue:
My problem was, that I had different versions of Python installed. Due to this, only the latest version of the Python which is installed on my server has included the needed Modules.

So what I did: Check the version of Python with:
python3 --version

If you get e.g. Python version 3.4.5, then you have to use in the commandline not only python, you have to use python3.4 (ignore the minor release number in the comment).

After knowing the latest installed version, I executed the setup like below:

• Navigate to the InstaPy folder
• Navigate to the subfolder scripts (cd scripts)
• After being in the subfolder scripts, execute the setup.py with the the command: python3.4 setup.py install
• Now the setup should complete without any error. If that's happen, you're all set.
• Now go back to the InstaPy-Root-Folder and execute the quickstart with: python3.4 quickstart.py
• Make sure, you have added your username and password into the quickstart. If your server only uses shell, so there's no GUI, you have also to set the "noGui"-variable, like described in: https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy#running-it-with-docker

hope this helps.

Hello. I have the same problem on Ubuntu:
ImportError: No module named pyvirtualdisplay
And

Requirement already satisfied: pyvirtualdisplay in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages
Requirement already satisfied: EasyProcess in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages (from pyvirtualdisplay)

I solved this by installing it through

sudo pip install pyvirtualdisplay --user

Of course pip gotta use the version you've got, in case you don't know use the command

python --version or python3 --version and only use the first two numbers. For instance, if you've got 3.6.4, the command should be

sudo pip3.6 install pyvirtualdisplay --user.

You can even avoid using --user flag, but it's better passing it so that it will install the package to a user-owned directory. Your normal non-root user won't be able to access the files installed by sudo pip or sudo python.

If you have a Mac, in order to avoid that some dependencies won't be installed, you should use the command

sudo -H pip3.6 install pyvirtualdisplay

yo (pardon my french by the way im a french guy hope u will understand the following )
it seem its cause python version and pip version got incompatibilities :

python --version
and
pip --version to check it both

u certainly have pip 3. something (only the first number of the version is important)
and python 2.7 or else

to test in the terminal just enter :

python3 quickstart.py
instead of the simple :
python quickstart.py

I learnt python only 5 days ago so i didn't find solution for GUI if someone figure it out feel free to share :)

Thanks tim for that scripts by the way

python3 quickstart.py throw me session exception, by using sudo sudo python3 quickstart.py works well.
