Troubleshooting

If you have problems running instagram-bot or more specifically puppeteer, you can use docker to run your bot in a verified environment. To do that simply create a new directory, save your code in a file named test.js, copy over the Dockerfile file from the repo, install all the dependencies via npm and then run

docker build -t instagram-bot .

The first time you run this command can take a while ... When it's finished you can run

docker run instagram-bot

to start the bot.
