You guys are missing two things.

1. Mozilla should be installed in your local machines if you are using Windows download Mozilla
2. Secondly, You need to download specific drivers such as firefox geckodriver and chrome driver. to download those you need to do the following.

• GOTO GECKODRIVERDOWNLOAD
• Click on the specific version you have whether x32 or x64
• download that and after downloading you should continue to check using the code below whether the driver is downloaded or not.

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'COPYTHECOMPLETEDOWNLOADPATHOFGECKODRIVER\geckodriver.exe')
browser.get("https://www.google.com/")
print("I am on this website ::::: YOYO XOXO , ",browser.title)

After this, if the google opens up successful. continue with your Instapy code it will work :)

The following codes work like a charm
OPTIONAL.

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

# Creating a workspace
set_workspace(path=None)  # currently there is not working path

# That was so difficult !
session = InstaPy(username='REPLACEHERE, password='REPLACEHERE')  # Creating an instagram session

with smart_run(session):
    # Smart run is responsible for the session usage
    # Tags to be followed  !

    session.like_by_tags(tags=["travel"])  # This will like the images with repect to tags

@shafaypro which Version of FireFox are you using. Did you do some customisation at installation?

Does the geckodiver find Firefox automaticaly?

[shafaypro]

@DunkinDonat Sorry for the late reply,
I am using 75.0 FireFox Browser with 64 Bit. It did it automatically if in case this doesn't work you can do it manually in the session variable. You just need to replace the variable path in the InstaPy() Object declaration parameters 'geckodriver_path' be equal to your own downloaded geckodriver.exe :)

I have two versions of Firefox installed because I need the other one for a different task. How would I know what version it's using?
