Instapy: Pi3 Firefox method version not working

[johanneskapst]

I use sudo xvfb-run python quickstart.py to start the python script but I get the following lines:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Projects/InstaPy $ sudo xvfb-run python quickstart.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "quickstart.py", line 10, in <module> from instapy import InstaPy File "/home/pi/Projects/InstaPy/instapy/__init__.py", line 3, in <module> from .instapy import InstaPy File "/home/pi/Projects/InstaPy/instapy/instapy.py", line 12, in <module> from selenium import webdriver ImportError: No module named selenium

I´m thankfull for every help!

Use python3 over python since python refers to python2.7, which will be deprecated on 1.1.2020.

@TarekJ03 Hey, I tried it out but I get the same error again :/

How did you install instapy? With pip?

[johanneskapst]

I installed like in How_to_Raspberry.md described: [https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/blob/master/docs/How_to_Raspberry.md], so I used: git clone https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy.git.

[TarekJ03]

Did you install all the requirements? If you're not sure, run

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

in the InstaPy folder.

@johanneskapst the new way to install InstaPy is with pip - https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/pull/3973

[johanneskapst]

@mwargan I´m going to flash the Pi. So I just need to do: pip install instapy? Or do I have to install chromedrive seperately, like you mentioned in #3973 ?

[TarekJ03]

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

And then, put your scripts and stuff like that into /InstaPy
And you're set:tada:

@TarekJ03
Thank you <3

[mwargan]

@johanneskapst, @TarekJ03 is correct - just make sure you do an apt update beforehand. And a side note, you can put your scripts anywhere as instapy will be installed globally.

[johanneskapst]

@mwargan then I can name my scripts however I want, right?

[TarekJ03]

@johanneskapst yes:smile:

[mwargan]

@johanneskapst yes, but keep in mind others had issues if you name your script as the program - so don't call it instapy.py (as pointed out by @TarekJ03 https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/issues/3967#issuecomment-462799149) - I usually just stick with quickstart.py

[johanneskapst]

Everything is working perfectly now. Someone needs to update the how_to_rapberry.md. Thank you guys:)
