Try pip install future

Hi guys
@cormo1990
Make sure you are targeting the right python version (_or environment_) while installing packages and running code.
_E.g. you might install plyer for python 2 and run quickstart script with python 3 which does not have a plyer module_ installed.

Cheers 😄

@uluQulu mmmm...probably I'm doing this wrong, I don't know how to be sure to targeting in the right place...can you teach me please?

I tried pip install but doesn't work :( @HCWcoder

[uluQulu]

@cormo1990
Do you run python in a virtual environment? - If not, how do you run it?
Which python versions you have got installed?

---

Cheers 😀

[cormo1990]

NO, I have python 2.7 and 3.6, I have a Mac, start terminal and simply digit to install python

thanks @uluQulu

@cormo1990
Try installing plyer with pip3

Cheers 😀

[cormo1990]

@uluQulu done but I have the same issue...

[uluQulu]

@cormo1990
Post the full traceback information.
Also does it at least install plyer properly or fails at that?

@uluQulu how to disable image in headless mode im consuming ~3gb each day

[uluQulu]

@HCWcoder
Recently, that feature,
disable_image_load
has been merged and now you can easily set it as a parameter at InstaPy instance:

session=InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password, headless_browser=True, disable_image_load=True, multi_logs=True)

It does not matter whether you run a headless or graphical session, it just will disable images from loading.
If you want images load, turn off that parameter with the value of False or just remove it from the instantiation line (its default is False).
It will work for both Firefox and Chrome sessions [although Firefox has no headless capability].

Cheers 🙂

@uluQulu solved bro, the problem was that I installed python3 but it continue to use python2.
change the file and works! thanks again

@cormo1990 how did you fix this? what file did you change?

[cormo1990]

@AdamMoffitt Hi Adam, have you already tried to download and reinstall the latest version of InstaPy?

if it doesn't work, you have to check your python version using terminal, and if your system is using the old one, you can follow the link below to set as default the newest version of python. feel free to ask other question or help if you don't fix this issue.
