InstaAutoComment

Automatically places a comment on specific users' new Instagram post.

Why was this made?

I was done with my sister always asking me to like and comment on her Instagram account so I made this.

• Make a copy of the file .env.example and name it ".env", fill the next fields inside the file:
  • IG_USERNAME (optional): the username of the user you want to login with, if this is left empty you will get asked to provide it when running the program.
  • IG_PASSWORD (optional): the password of the user you want to login with, if this is left empty you will get asked to provide it when running the program.
