InstagramBot

Yet another bot trying to give you a small advantage by manipulating the goodwill of others.

It will like and follow users of a hashtag of your choice, three times a day, and unfollow everyone who doesn't follow you back in the morning before starting work.

Its very much a set and forget system.

To use:

• Install NodeJS
• Clone the project into a local folder
• Change to project directory and run npm install
• Install PM2 to keep it alive: npm install -g pm2
• Create a /cookies directory
• Create a /logs directory
• Create an ecosystem.config.js file in the root of the project:

ecosystem.config.js

replace instagram_username, instagram_password, and hashtag_to_stalk with appropriate content

module.exports = {
  apps : [
    {
      name      : 'InstagramBot',
      script    : 'app.js',
      cron_restart: "0 0 * * *",
      env: {
        USERNAME: 'instagram_username',
        PASSWORD: 'instagram_password',
        HASHTAG: 'hashtag_to_stalk,different_hashtag_to_stalk'
      }
    }
  ]
};

• run pm2 start ecosystem.config.js

Optional

If you want the script to start on server start, run: pm2 startup

It may give you some instructions for your OS. Read them and do it.

then run pm2 save to save the current config.
