Make sure to get the right chromedriver for your system from here. Just put it in /assets.

Hi guys since this morning I have the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "example.py", line 2, in <module>
    from instapy import InstaPy
  File "/root/InstaPy/instapy/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .instapy import InstaPy
  File "/root/InstaPy/instapy/instapy.py", line 8, in <module>
    from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
ImportError: No module named pyvirtualdisplay

I've created a new directory for instapy and I start over the installation process.
but I still have that issue.

@emanuelepasin if you run the script in this way:

python script_name.py
do:
python --version
if it shows python 3.x:
pip3 install pyvirtualdisplay
if it shows python 2.x:
pip install pyvirtualdisplay
if pyvirtualdisplay is already installed, try to update it
pip (or pip3) install -U pyvirtualdisplay

@converge unfortunately I've already tried:

root@ubuntu-1gb-ams2-01:~/InstaPy# python --version
Python 2.7.12

@emanuelepasin your pip is setup to use python 3 and your python setup is using python 2.7, you just need to install pyvirtualdisplay to python 2.7

pip2.7 install pyvirtualdisplay

@converge It didn't work, so I've created a new server and started over!

@timgrossmann any idea ?
