I manually downloaded 3 versions of chromedriver.
74.0.3729.6
75.0.3770.90
75.0.3770.140

Tried to replace chromedriver in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/instapy_chromedriver with downloaded files
same result

[ghost]

Tried:
sudo python3 -m pip uninstall instapy-chromedriver
sudo python3 -m pip uninstall instapy-chromedriver

still doesn't work instapy

[guztavoalves]

Try chromedriver v2.46
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.46/

Same problem

[raihan001]

I post how to fix this issue before this post 😇🙏

[raihan001]

Just install manually google version 71-75 from this link https://www.slimjet.com/chrome/download-chrome.php

[Tr1pke]

The pity of course is that only servers and bots use out dated software and instagram will also know this. Is it not possible to make it work with the latest version?

[raihan001]

Nope...for the reason may be developers need to fix this issue for update crome driver on instapy library..

[raihan001]

I hope this help you all

@raihan001 thank you. tried it but got same result, instapy doesn't work

[raihan001]

Are you sure change the name from "chromedriver" to "chromedriver_linux64" after unzip?
I just try same your way, but the different only change the name in:
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/instapy_chromedriver/ to
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/instapy_chromedriver/chromedriver_linux64

If you not change the name, that don't work and give you an error...

[raihan001]

My python version is 3.5
So in my way, i go to this directory
/usr/local/lib/python3.5/

For your python version just go to
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/

[Tr1pke]

Same result for me also

[huuphongnguyen]

Last check: google-chrome --version
Google Chrome 76.0.3809.87
So anyone knows how to downgrade or wait for Instapy

[amir5121]

Download chrome driver from here .. for version 76

https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

replace it with
your_virtual_enviroment/lib/python3.6/site-packages/instapy_chromedriver/chromedriver_linux64

you have to rename the downloaded file for me i had to change it to chromedriver_linux64 there is also a mac and windows version there..

[alxhoff]

Same problem for me here. Using chromium version 76.0.3809.87 and driver 76.0.3809.68.

[ghprod]

@amir5121 Thanks, it works for me

[robertobarlocci]

Works for me with chromedriver 75 (https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=75.0.3770.140)
put it in the /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/instapy_chromedriver/,
unzip, renamed it to chromedriver_linux64 (or mac or whatever) and give the folder "instapy_chromedriver" the rights (i set the whole folder to 777 for testing purposes).

[steliosnikas]

This is a permissions issue.

You need to just give the chromedriver file access.

Try sudo chmod 777 chromedriver_linux64
