When I try to login to instaloader through Terminal, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/instaloader", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('instaloader==2.2.1', 'console_scripts', 'instaloader')())

    raise KeyError('name=%r, domain=%r, path=%r' % (name, domain, path))
KeyError: "name='csrftoken', domain=None, path=None"

I have not edited or changed anything in the scripts it is showing, so I do not know what is wrong.

from instaloader import Instaloader, Profile

L = Instaloader()
username = "your username"
password = "your password"
L.login(username, password)

profile = Profile.from_username(L.context, username)
posts_sorted_by_likes = sorted(profile.get_posts(), key=lambda post: post.likes,reverse=True)
for post in posts_sorted_by_likes:
    if post.is_video:
        L.download_post(post, username)

Properly arrange the code and it will run successfully.

If you would like to login through python script them this snippet of code will get you there

from instaloader import Instaloader
USERNAME = "YOUR USERNAME"
PASSWORD = "YOUR PASSWORD"

L = Instaloader()
L.login(USERNAME, PASSWORD)
