Yes, you need to log into an instagram account using cookies to download instagram videos.
If you use firefox, install this extension and log into instagram account. Once on main page click "export site cookies to file". Place that file in bot directory and it should work.

Also make sure gallery-dl is installed on machine hosting bot.

install with python3 -m pip install -U gallery-dl or sudo apt install gallery-dl ?

[voltflake]

whatever you prefer, important thing is that you should be able to type gallery-dl in terminal to use it.

[xzakier]

in "out" or the whole directory ?

[voltflake]

In directory where you launch node. If you use
node .
then project directory, not out.

It's working now, thank you.

And for the future if you just edit the readme file for all issues just to avoid these questions.

Respect bro

Yeah, I made a lot of changes and added many features without updating readme because I only needed stuff for my discord server. I'll update readme properly soon for everyone on github. Cheers!
