Exec format error means that the binary is not in the right format. The built-in Chromedriver doesn't work on RPis since their Chromium is v65 (which is old). Install the RPi-specific Chromedriver like this:

pip3 uninstall instapy-chromedriver 
pip3 install instapy-chromedriver==2.36.post0

That fixes that 😉

however the following error appears in the old installation

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//div[text()='Followers' or text()='Following']/../../following-sibling::div"}

try
pip3 uninstall instapy-chromedriver and
pip3 install --user instapy-chromedriver==2.36 and start again :)

@scriptworld-git the problem with that is that instapy-chromedriver==2.44 is a dependency. So installing v2.36 would install the correct version of chromedriver, but it wouldn't work because of that dependency.
Edit: This is wrong. Dependencies only get checked at installation and updates.

TarekJ03 picture TarekJ03 on 7 Feb 2019

@escariao did you install the chromedriver like described in How_to_Raspberry.md? If not, complete the first 2 steps of for Chrome.
Edit: Do it like @scriptworld-git said, but it's possible in one command:

pip3 install instapy-chromedriver==2.36 -I
TarekJ03 picture TarekJ03 on 7 Feb 2019

If the uninstall and reinstall of v2.36 instapy-chromedriver does not lead to success:
Try "For Chrome" way from https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/blob/master/docs/How_to_Raspberry.md

Navigate to 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
unzip chromedriver-v3.0.0-beta.5-linux-armv7l.zip
chmod 755 chromedriver
chmod +x chromedriver
sudo apt-get remove chromium

I have the same problem.
when I install it there isn't the assets folder, however i create the directory, follow the instructio for chrome but doesnt work

CarrattaFrancesco picture CarrattaFrancesco on 8 Feb 2019

@CarrattaFrancesco try installing the chromedriver version that works with InstaPy from pip: pip3 install instapy-chromedriver==2.36 -I

TarekJ03 picture TarekJ03 on 8 Feb 2019

so I already do that but still not work.
two day ago everythings works fine but now if I want to use chrome give me this error:
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error
I follow how_toRaspberry.md perfectely and also execute "pip3 install instapy-chromedriver==2.36 -I" but doesnt work.

CarrattaFrancesco picture CarrattaFrancesco on 8 Feb 2019

@CarrattaFrancesco You followed the complete Raspberry Pi tutorial? Becuase it's old. It'll get updated soon. Could you please paste your whole error?

yes, I completely follow the raspberry Pi Tutorial, I worked with InstaPy on Raspberry since 3 months then I understand how it works.
I follow "how_to_raspberry.md" to install but when I use:
session.follow_user_followers(['xxxx'], amount=20, randomize=False, interact=False)
give me this error:

So I try to figure out using Firefox instead chrome, session start but give me another error that is solved by @converge in #3459 and other similar issue, i change the part under the two #find dialog box with the correct code in unfollow_util.py but give me the same error:

@CarrattaFrancesco Do you already added these

from instapy import smart_run
from instapy import set_workspace

set_workspace ('/ home/pi/Projects/Instapy')

Remember, that set_workspace is your installation InstaPy path

escariao picture escariao on 8 Feb 2019

yes but with path= None, i think that is the same.
This is my testing script:

from instapy import InstaPy
from instapy import smart_run
from instapy import set_workspace

set_workspace(path=None)

session = InstaPy(username='xxxx', password='xxxx', nogui=True, headless_browser=True)

with smart_run(session):
    """ Activity flow """
    session.follow_user_followers(['xxxxxx'], amount=20, randomize=False, interact=False)
CarrattaFrancesco picture CarrattaFrancesco on 8 Feb 2019

@CarrattaFrancesco I'd recommend you the pip installation. To do that, remove the InstaPy folder you currently have. Then run

pip3 install instapy
pip3 install instapy-chromedriver==2.36 -I

Then either run quickstart.py (it will automatically create a folder named Instapy in your user's home directory) or create a new InstaPy folder somewhere, and pass that folder's path in set_workspace=(path=path/to/new/InstaPy/

TarekJ03 picture TarekJ03 on 8 Feb 2019

I do everything:

  • delete Instapy folder
  • pip3 install instapy

same problem here on a pi 3+

tourhuntr picture tourhuntr on 13 Feb 2019

Exec format error means that the binary is not in the right format. The built-in Chromedriver doesn't work on RPis since their Chromium is v65 (which is old). Install the RPi-specific Chromedriver like this:

pip3 uninstall instapy-chromedriver 
pip3 install instapy-chromedriver==2.36.post0

That fixes that 😉

That's also good, that means that you didn't mess up python2.7 and python3.5. Maybe un- and reinstall again?

there must still be a 2.44 package around... for sure !
maybe you even have another python version on the machine! are you able to give me remote access and I can check it real quick ? must be a easy fix

We can make it via anydesk.

Done, the problem was that i have python3.5 and python3.7 installed, so, running the script with python3 uses the updated version of python installed, if i use python3.5 instead of python3, works perfect.

PD: Using chromium v65 and chromiumdriver 2.36post.

This thread can be close. thnks
