Is it possible to run this bot on a headless remote server with Ubuntu 16.04 instaled?
Would the way to install it be approximately the same or do you know of a tutorial that shows how to install and operate it on a remote headless server with Ubuntu 16.04 installed on it?

why op should use pyton ? is that ok to use c++ or php?
if you change the variables such as likes per day or follows to something over what the defaults are set to, then yes, youre likely to be banned as you are "too active" to be humanly realistic. if you keep everything in check and realsitic, you shouldnt get banned

I have been using this bot more a year on my raspberry now. I haven’t been banned. As mentioned above it all depends on your settings. Don't overdo them!
C++ is for Windows. Of course there are bots made with it, but it's limited by OS. Python can be used more broadly.
PHP requires a web server and so monthly fees, I just prefer my pi.
It's a python script. The OS doesn't really matter as long as you can install python

Thanks for this script. Managed to get it to work on Windows and on my Synology NAS, after solving the JSON-error.
Now I would still like to install it on a remote headless-server. But the server always gives a login-error. Tried everything yet, but haven't found a solution yet. Maybe it's because the server is in another country.
@OP: can you elaborate a bit more about the settings you have been using yet. For example : can you run this bot 24/7? What are approximately the best, most aggressive settings, without being banned.

The reason for this could be the Instagram security reasons. Perhaps you have to verify the IP address from your remote server. I had this problem once.

How do you verify the IP-adress?

Usually this is just through your Instagram account.

Could you try and write the following code?
Code:
sudo pip install fake_useragentThis should install the required module. If the problem is not solved feel free to ask again.
