Hi Big44, I have downloaded these scripts. Could you tell me how to run them? it seems to be a different process than OPs scripts. I really just need to run the get_users_following script. Can you tell me how to get this done? I am not the best with python. I use kali linux.

i am using office computer when i try to install python it says need elevation because my pc connected with server computer and asking for Domain password. Any idea t0 overcome this.Introduction
So you want to bot Instagram, but wouldn't like to throw hundreds of $$$ into the overpriced GUI tools that everyone on BHW seems to prefer? Worry no more! Vodkacola will help you spam the shit out of this social network, for FREE!
In this thread I will share the tool(s) I personally ended up using, and how to set them up, step by step.
What we will set up is an Amazon micro instance which runs these python scripts created by our lovely friend LevPasha: https://github.com/LevPasha/instabot.py
What features does this bot have?
-Follow by hashtags
-Unfollow
-Like by hashtags
-Comment by hashtags
-Custom follow and like limits
-Unlimited account support
-Proxy support
What using this bot requires?
-a PC
-Ability to read
What using this bot does NOT require?
-Coding skills
-Paying monthly fees for a motherfucking computer program
-Paying for anything at all
-Clicking referral links from some bullshit BHW tutorial thread
Setting up AWS Micro instance (optional):
In this part we will set up a server where the scripts can run when your computer or internet is turned off.
1: Register to Amazon Web Services as a free tier user: https://aws.amazon.com/free/
2: Set up billing alerts as instructed here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/free-tier-alarms.html
3: Launch the virtual machine where you will run the bots, as instructed here: http://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/tutorials/launch-windows-vm/
Installing Python
Next you need to install Python either into your PC or the Amazon virtual machine you just set up. I'm not going to explain this myself, the internet is full of tutorials for this stuff!
Using instabot.py
1: Download instabot.py files: https://github.com/LevPasha/instabot.py/archive/master.zip
2: Extract the .zip to your desktop / porn folder / wherever
3: Locate the file called "example.py"
4: Right click
5: Open with notepad
6: Edit in your account info, tags, follow and like limits
7: Save as "opensourcebotsfuckyeah.py"
8: Run the file you just saved. If everything went right you should see a terminal like this:
9: Go outside and spend the money you just saved at a liquor store

I am bookmarking this.
pip install -U instabot should solve it.
It tells you on the git page, read it

Forgive my ignorance but it have read the entire git page to no avail. I am still unclear on how to run get_following. Do I run a "pip install instabot" and then run a "get_users_following" how does the script sign into Instagram? Any help is appreciated.pip install -U instabot should solve it.

did you follow the instructions to install python & set up an amzn aws instance?
edit: tested it on my desktop and had same issue. : you're probably missing the 'requests' requirement. installing that fixed it.
1)Download Requests from https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests click on clone or download button
2)Unzip the file in your python directory
3)For windows use command cd to the requests directory you just made then "setup.py install"
4) command cd to the instabot.py directory then "example.py"

Thanks for posting this but I'm having issues getting the multi_script_CLI.py to run, I'm using a raspberry pi 3 with raspbian, I have both python 2 & 3 installed. The instabot script appeared to install correctly following the read me file provided.
When I run the command "python multi_script_CLI.py" in terminal I get the following error:
I installed the OP's version before hand & it worked perfectly without even trying. Had anyone else received this error & was able to get it running?

To answer my own question here is the fix if you're getting the ImportError: No module named_vendor error on a Raspberry Pi using rasbian (Jessie) OS.
Open up terminal & type in:
From your file manager go to the same path above & open bot.py for reference where you need too edit, in Python goto the Edit menu & select "Go To Line" & type in line "133". It should look like this:
In terminal look for this above, when you find it you are going to want to add this exactly like shown:
So you are going to want to add in terminal the line saying "try:" with 8 spacebars in front of it, the line saying "from pip.vendor import pkg resouces" with 12 spacebars in front, the line saying except with 8 spacebars in front, & last the line saying import pkg_resouces with 12 spacebars in front. Press CTRL X & Enter to save it in terminal, you should be able to run the instabot script without issues once done correctly.
Here is the link to the ticket I opened
hxxps://github.com/instagrambot/instabot/issues/189
Open up terminal & type in:
Code:
cd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/instabot/bot
sudo nano bot.pyFrom your file manager go to the same path above & open bot.py for reference where you need too edit, in Python goto the Edit menu & select "Go To Line" & type in line "133". It should look like this:
Code:
def version(self):
from pip._vendor import pkg_resources
return next((p.version for p in pkg_resources.working_set if p.project_name.lower() == 'instabot'), "No match")In terminal look for this above, when you find it you are going to want to add this exactly like shown:

This is only for *nix computers:
Run

$ git clone hxxps://github.com/instagrambot/instabot (can't post live links)
$ cd instabot/examples
$ python script-of-your-choosing

Question on the AWS setup. Obviously no one wants to be charged. Will this bot ever jeopardize being charged even with the billing alarm that you set? I'm planning on running 3 accounts no proxy. Will it also work for free when the 12 month free trial is over?
