Installation

pip install instapy

That's it! 🚀
If you're on Ubuntu, read the specific guide on Installing on Ubuntu (64-Bit). If you're on a Raspberry Pi, read the Installing on RaspberryPi guide instead.

Important: depending on your system, make sure to use pip3 and python3 instead.


You can put in your account details now by passing the username and password parameters to the InstaPy() function in your quickstart script, like so:

InstaPy(username="abc", 
        password="123")

Or you can pass them using the Command Line Interface (CLI).

If you've used InstaPy before installing it by pip, you have to move your old data to the new workspace folder for once. Read how to do this here.

To run InstaPy, you'll need to run the quickstart script you've just downloaded.

python quickstart.py
-- or
python quickstart.py --username abc --password 123

InstaPy will now open a browser window and start working.

If want InstaPy to run in the background pass the --headless-browser option when running from the CLI
Or add the headless_browser=True parameter to the InstaPy(headless_browser=True) constructor.

Updating InstaPy
