Any idea please ?

@uluQulu

Many thanks.

@Edhim Every time you encounter something that reads No module named 'xyz' simply do a pip install xyz where xyz is the name of the missing module.

Seems like you forgot to do pip install . in the beginning

[Edhim]

Thank you @timgrossmann

I've made pip install plyer but still have the same error - "ImportError: No module named 'plyer'
"

UPD. pip3 install plyer is working

same on raspberry

@guilhermelucasfreitas @escariao
While installing some package using pip MAKE SURE you are targeting the right python version.
_E.g. you might have installed several python(s) on your system and pip command might install packages for python 2 and pip3 command for python 3, etc._.

It is the common case of mistakes for many people.

Well, you are having a different problem than the users above.

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
(chrome not reachable)
(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/chromium is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

Out of that output, I can say that you are having problems with either webdriver or its web browser.

What you can do?
Not all versions [esp. the latest versions] of chromedriver & Chrome web browser work well on Raspberry devices.

Try installing different versions of them and see what happens.

_There are people who shared a post explaining a good combo of those for Raspberry devices. You can find it if searches the Issues_.

If you get some different results, just post it here to inspect.
And if trying different versions does not help, let us now.

Yes, i try diferent versions (https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html)
and i get this:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Projects $ python3 InstaPy/quickstart.py

Hi, my friends!!!
I downloaded all versions(https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html), there are only two errors that appear. Which are exactly those two above I posted before.
Just to remember:

• 1º Error
  ...(Everything I posted above)...
  instapy.instapy.InstaPyError: ensure chromedriver is installed at /home/pi/Projects/InstaPy/assets/chromedriver

or

• 2 º Error
  ...(my last post)...
  OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

Yes, @uluQulu! I try all versions combo Chromium + chromedrive. And nothing ;(
I have raspberry pi 3 with raspbian (Linux raspberrypi 4.14.71-v7+ #1145 armv7l )
I'm thinking of returning my raspberry rsrs ;~(

[uluQulu]

@escariao
Have a read https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/issues/3213#issuecomment-432838033.
It may help.

[escariao]

Thanks, but i had already seen.
Follows the installation of the normal guide. [Installation with raspbian stretch lite (v4.14)]
But it does not work, so then they try:

sudo pip install future
sudo apt-get install xvfb
sudo pip install pyvirtualdisplay
sudo reboot (may not be required, but no harm)
sudo xvfb-run python quickstart.py -> gave me an error with chrome browser so i used
xvfb-run python quickstart.py and it seems to work for now

It does not work. So it comes to an end, which is a link to this one. ;~(
I try all this, friend

[uluQulu]

I see, @escariao.
There @GabrieleCalarota used a different method to get chromedriver.
from https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v3.0.0-beta.5/chromedriver-v3.0.0-beta.5-linux-armv7l.zip
that I thought might help..

Your problem is really basic and is an installation issue in a Raspberry but I really have no any experience in it to offer you a further help, but if you ask other Raspberry users they would help.

Cheers 😁

[escariao]

Yes, It's the same as I got.
Thank you, my friend @uluQulu. I'm almost giving up rs

[escariao]

@uluQulu my friend!!! The problem was because i had two chromium browsers install! I executed

sudo apt-get remove chromium
After that i could execute python quickstart.py without problem!
Sorry, and thank you!!!

[uluQulu]

Good to hear it, @escariao 🙂

[guilhermelucasfreitas]

I tried to install the request with pip3 but I did not succeed

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
pip3 install requests
