Installation

npm install
npm link

Note

Before executing the CLI program, copy the contents of the file .env.example to a new file named .env and fill all the environment variables there with your account credentials that are stored in the browser's cookies. This program will not work without authentication.

Note

If the code fails, even after setting your account credentials in the .env file, try setting the COOKIES property with a JSON object, like this: COOKIES={"datr":"...","ig_did":"..."}, and deleting the config.json file. This avoids authentication issues with the Instagram API.
