Instapy: Completely Lost!! Help

[amoffitt123]

Hello all, I am trying to run quickstart.py on my raspberry pi 3 and I just keep on getting errors. Here is my code -

from instapy import InstaPy

Write your automation here

Stuck ? Look at the github page or the examples in the examples folder

dont_like = ['food', 'girl', 'hot']
ignore_words = ['pizza']
friend_list = ['friend1', 'friend2', 'friend3']

If you want to enter your Instagram Credentials directly just enter

username= and password= into InstaPy

e.g like so InstaPy(username="instagram", password="test1234")

InstaPy(username='test', password='test') \
.login() \
.set_upper_follower_count(limit=2500) \
.set_do_comment(True, percentage=10) \
.set_comments(['Cool!', 'Awesome!', 'Nice!']) \
.set_dont_include(friend_list) \
.set_dont_like(dont_like) \
.set_ignore_if_contains(ignore_words) \
.like_by_tags(['dog', '#cat'], amount=100) \
.end()

And these are the errors -

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/Projects/InstaPy/quickstart.py", line 23, in
.end()

I have tried looking in the read me file, but no help. Thanks

@amoffitt123 I got the same error as you, what steps did you take to fix it?

@mjortberg521 did you installed chrome browser (not chrome driver) ?

[mjortberg521]

@converge I will try installing google Chrome tonight. Does it require ExaGear desktop? I was trying with Chromium...whoops

[converge]

@mjortberg521 is it Linux ? check the docs folder, we have a tutorial.
