how to download inta profile by python

Question

I wanted to download an insta profile picture so I used this code

import instaloader

ig = instaloader.instaloader()
dp = input("insta user name :"  )
ig.download_profile(dp , profile_pic_only=true)

but I faced this erorr:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:/Users/m.h.gh/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python38/1.py", line 1, in

import instaloader

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'instaloader'

Then I wrote this code

pip3 install instaloader

and faced:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'm using python 3.8.

Please put more effort into your question. – kissu Jul 17 '21 at 21:51 — kissu, Jul 17 '21 at 21:51

The command pip3 install instaloader needs to be run in a commandline, not inside your python script.

It helps to explain that 'pip' is a standalone executable that goes alongside 'python' – smci Jul 17 '21 at 21:31
