Instapy: chromedriver not detected at execution

Created on 11 Jun 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: timgrossmann/InstaPy

I'm on ubuntu/AWS, despite having properly installed chromedriver following the "How to run InstaPy on a digital ocean Ubuntu droplet" documentation I get the following error message when I want to execute instapy:

instapy.instapy.InstaPyError: ensure chromedriver is installed at /home/ubuntu/InstaPy/assets/chromedriver

in your script, be sure that your session settings are correct:
by default is:
session = InstaPy(username=insta_username,
password=insta_password,
headless_browser=False,
multi_logs=True)
For Digital Ocean and AWS:
change Headlesbrowser to True, and ad nogui:True
session = InstaPy(username=insta_username,
password=insta_password,
headless_browser=True,
multi_logs=True,
nogui=True)

I have the same error, that doesnt helped for me :/

I see, then I don't know, I had started with a new installation and run into the same issue and this solved, I don't really know much more....

It worked for me! Thanks a lot.

Didn't work for me.

I was having the same problem and the problem was that I did not have chrome installed on my new machine. In order to chromedriver to work you must have chrome installed on your server/machine.

Besides that, just change headless_browser=False to headless_browser=True on the quickstart.py file and run it. It should work.
