Setup guide request/Cannot find module 'coffee-script/register' #19

Closed yarnball closed 7 years ago

yarnball commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I have a list (I can put it in .csv or .json format) of MediaID's I'd like to get the comment content from.

As there is no setup guide, I may have some of this wrong.

npm g -i

Then when I tried running: instagram-screen-scrape comments --post 0qPcnuI4Pr

This renders the following error:

MacBook-Pro-3:CommentNPM mac1$ ls
LICENSE     Makefile    README.md   bin     lib     package.json    test
MacBook-Pro-3:CommentNPM mac1$ instagram-screen-scrape 
module.js:327
    throw err;
    ^

How can I fix this error?

There's a setup guide here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/instagram-screen-scrape/tutorial

But you basically just need to do: npm install instagram-screen-scrape -g

Thank you @slang800 that guide is a great help- maybe post a link on the repo too.

How would I do the scrape for a list/batch of MediaID's? I am currently doing it individually which is very slow. Ideally I can just write the comments to a text file or something.

Thanks
