Remove any versions of Firefox as it will conflict with the correct one installed below:

  1. sudo apt-get remove firefox-esr
  2. sudo apt-get remove iceweasel
  3. sudo apt-get remove firefox

found the following commands to install Firefox here; https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=912

  1. echo 'deb http://q4os.org/qextrepo q4os-rpi-firefox-cn main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qextrepo.list
  2. wget -nv -O- http://q4os.org/qextrepo/q4a-q4os.gpg.pub | sudo apt-key add -

Update GeckoDriver if needed. Instructions at the end of this document.

Encountered some errors when trying to run the quickstart.py and ran the next 3 commands (all may not be necessary)

  1. sudo pip install future
  2. sudo apt-get install xvfb
  3. sudo pip install pyvirtualdisplay
  4. sudo reboot (may not be required, but no harm)

Assuming you've modified quickstart.py to your liking and added your Instagram login to instapy.py

  1. sudo xvfb-run python quickstart.py

I installed TMUX to help run this headless, so that I can disconnect from the session and have the program continue to run on the rpi3

  1. sudo apt-get install tmux (more info found here: https://github.com/tmux/tmux)

  2. follow the example seen in examples\firefoxExample.py to set the default browser as Firefox
