Run Instabot In Termux

This tutorial will show you how to run instabot scripts on your Android device using Termux app.

The example script is mass story viewer, so you will be able to see a lot of stories by the end of this tutorial.

Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that works directly with no rooting or setup required. A minimal base system is installed automatically - additional packages are available using the APT package manager.

You can find Termux in Google Play.

First thing after installing Termux is to upgrade it. You're using the standard app version but you'll need Python 3 for the bot to running correctly. Command that for:

pkg upgrade

Install git, python and check Python version, must be at least 3.6. Let's install everything and verify version:

pkg install git
pkg install python
python -V

Install the instabot

pip install -U instabot

Then activate your shared memory to have access to the scripts with a better editor, even from your PC/Mac.

termux-setup-storage

Make a new directory into this shared memory. and change into

mkdir storage/shared/bot
cd storage/shared/bot

Clone the example scripts from our Github repository:

git clone https://github.com/instagrambot/instabot

Go to the example you want to run, in our case - the stories mass viewer:

cd instabot/examples/stories

Important now: switch your WiFi off before the first run* (our users found that this may help to prevent from being banned by Instagram) and then start your script:

python watch_user_likers_stories.py

Enjoy it.
