Hi, I just installed gallery-dl on a vps and trying to download a Instagram reel but I get this:

[instagram] [error] HttpError: '401 Unauthorized' for 'https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query/'

I did the install with sudo apt install gallery-dl

also i cant find the config in :

/etc/gallery-dl.conf

$HOME/.config/gallery-dl/config.json

$HOME/.gallery-dl.conf

Thx for the great tool
