Instapy: Update How to on Raspberry Pi

[gitpatrickhub]

@timgrossmann I cleaned up the how to guide a bit, removing some of the steps that are not required and should make the install more straight forward.

1. connect rpi3 to monitor via HDMI
2. connect internet via cat5
3. insert usb for wireless keyboard and mouse
4. plug in rpi3 with sd card preloaded with NOOBs
5. select country & install Raspbian
6. open terminal --> sudo raspi-config -->interfacing options --> SSH -->enable (allows ssh connection from MacBook); then navigate to VNC --> enable (allows GUI access)
7. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
8. mkdir Projects
9. cd Projects
10. git clone https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy.git
11. cd InstaPy
12. sudo pip install .
13. sudo pip install pyvirtualdisplay

Use http://mozilla.debian.net and follow the instructions to install the correct version of Firefox for your configuration

How to update GeckoDriver on Raspbian:
New releases can be found in https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
wget https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.18.0/geckodriver-v0.18.0-arm7hf.tar.gz
tar -xvzf geckodriver-v*
chmod +x geckodriver
sudo cp geckodriver /usr/local/bin/

Follow the example seen in examples\firefoxExample.py to set the default browser as Firefox

Optional:
To run headless, you will need to install xvfb:
sudo apt-get install xvfb
If running headless and you want to easily disconnect from the session install TMUX
sudo apt-get install tmux (more info found here: https://github.com/tmux/tmux)

IMPORTANT note regarding Raspberry Pi 2:
Firefox is not currently working correctly on Pi 2, to install a working version the following commands should be used:
Pi2.1. wget https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/10930950/+files/firefox_49.0+build4-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_armhf.deb
Pi2.2 sudo dpkg -i firefox_49.0+build4-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_armhf.deb

https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.19.1/geckodriver-v0.19.1-arm7hf.tar.gz
UPDATE: use the v0.18.0 which is compatible with firefox-esr

Anybody tried this with the docker example?

I'm getting this error.

Edit: There is no other process in the running that I know off that should cause the port not to be available. The chromium driver is also in the assets folder.

So what about the whole struggle with firefox? That was all for nothing? I followed these steps to install Firefox and removed firefox-esr. Any way to go back?

[quintendewilde]

I got this to work! :) But when running it I don't see any pictures of any feed in instagram. Everyting shows except for pictures even though it does read them in the terminal. Any ideas? Geckodriver or firefox settings?

[stefanbschneider]

@luigifaticoso Seems like geckodriver v19 isn't compatible with the current firefox-esr version. I had to downgrade to v18 to make it work.

[luigifaticoso]

Yea, i have seen that! forgot to edit

[puremilkorwhite]

I don't know why but I kept getting errors with step 7 so I seperated with success
7a. sudo apt-get update
7b. sudo apt-get upgrade
Hope it helps somebody.

My god this is a shit show. No one is building off one another. Just selfishness.
