Installation

pip install instapy

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

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.

If you would like to install a specific version of Instapy you may do so with:

pip install instapy==0.1.1

Running Instapy

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

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="abcd", 
        password="1234")

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.

Once you have your quickstart script configured you can execute the script with the following commands.

python quickstart.py
-- or
python quickstart.py --username abcd --password 1234

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

pip install instapy -U
