ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

[Adrwaan]

When following the steps described on the installation page on github, instagram-py does not install, it appears that something is going wrong in 'requests'.

Already tried:

• Remove requests and reinstall
• Use pip3 and pip
• And I downloaded the necessary packages before trying to install instagram-py

The error is as follows:

Collecting instagram-py
  Using cached instagram-py-2.0.7.tar.gz (31 kB)
  Installing build dependencies ... done
  Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

clone the repo copy the folder InstagramPy to /usr/lib/python3 copy the bin/instagram-py to /usr/bin chmod +x /usr/bin/instagram-py

@Klgor1803 This occurs on Windows, which is why the paths you say do not exist.
