Just out of interest, can you run multiple accounts on the phone? I never got as far as testing that.

No worries. I also find that instabot tends to evolve quite rapidly, and there are always little experimental branches where clever people have developed new functions. I keep promising myself I'll teach myself python one day...

The cheap version of adobe premiere, "elements" is a great little video editing tool, and increasingly I'm using camtasia 9 for tutorials etc.

I've used paid bots before but recently switched over to using the free instabot (python script). It works just as well as the paid bot I was using (instaeasy) but admittedly does not have as many options to configure, so is slightly less flexible in that sense. However, it's free and I'm no...

It can be tricky to set up but worth persevering when you get it working. Which part did you find complicated? ANd were you trying to set it up on Windows, or something else? Personally I use a raspberry pi and leave it on all the time, but I've also set it up on windows, and even on my android...

I run instabot on a raspberry pi - super low energy consumption (about 4 watts) and i've got 5 IG accounts running on it. Can also log in remotely from phone to check it - super handy.

In my experience you need to choose very popular hashtags that contain over 50,000 posts, preferably more than 100,000. If your hashtags are smaller than this, there is more chance that the bot will be scraping the same images over and over again, because no new images have been posted. I'm...

There's a really detailed step by step video course on a site called DarkStar - google "instabot setup guide" But basically you should be able to just type pip install requests to do that. Or - it will be listed in the requirements file, so pip install -r requirements.txt
