UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'u2026' in position 119: ordinal not in range(128) for some links

This is probably because of the encoding of the console you are using. To set for example Powershell to UTF-8, write the following in the console.

chcp 65001

Hope that works!

This is a terminal encoding issue.
Follow below mentioned steps:

1. Open CMD(for windows)
2. Open directory (cd InstaPy)
3. Command: set PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8
4. Execute this command every time before running python script.

Hope this works!

Hi @hariom282538,

when I use your solution under CentOS, Chrome crashes immediately when the script starts.
Do you know any other solution?

Kind regards

@tibor probably too low on RAM 😉

Just add these lines to quickstart.py and instapy.py:

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')
