Hey Guys, im trying to setup InstaPy on Raspbian Raspberry Pi 3+ without any success.
Tried everything i found in the forums, nothing seems to work :(. Can anyone help me find a solution? Tried firefox and tried chromium. Both dont work. Whats my best bet right now?
What's not working?
If is chromedriver for me this worked:
Installation with raspbian stretch lite (v4.14)
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser python-pip git
git clone https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy.git instapy
in the instapy folder: pip install .
in the assets folder: wget https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v3.0.0-beta.5/chromedriver-v3.0.0-beta.5-linux-armv7l.zip
also in the assets folder: unzip chromedriver-v3.0.0-beta.5-linux-armv7l.zip

chmod +x /home/ubuntu/ifollow/assets/chromedriver
chmod 755 /home/ubuntu/ifollow/assets/chromedriver
Seems to work now.
When i tried to do it like this:
pip install . -> gave me an error that pillow couldnt be installed because The headers or library files could not be found for jpeg,
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
fixed the error.
pip install . worked
I modified the quickstart.py (username and password) and tried to start with python quickstart.py
Finished up with
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
Maybe @eggator you can add some of this advice in the documentation. I'm sure @timgrossmann will merge it
Yeah i can do this, will need some testing before though, pretty new to unix world and i dont know if this causes any problems.
With Raspian Lite worked on a clean install. Also remember to use Python3 and pip3!
working! Just remember to apply chmod 755 chromedriver
in /assets
folder
(working using pip3
and python3
)
Also add nogui=True
in quickstart.py
as follow:
session = InstaPy(username=insta_username,
password=insta_password,
headless_browser=True,
multi_logs=True, nogui=True)
No activity for a long time. pls, reopen it if you need.
