Upgrade the emoji library to the latest version. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt: "pip install --upgrade emoji"

-Uninstall the emoji library and reinstall it. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt: "pip uninstall emoji" followed by "pip install emoji"

Use a virtual environment: create a new virtual environment for your project and install the required libraries including instapy and emoji in that environment. This can help isolate the dependencies and avoid conflicts with other packages. – RockYou Jan 29 '23 at 12:18

This is a known issue that was solved by this pull request. However a new version with the fix has not been released on pypi.org yet.

So the InstaPy version on pypi.org is not compatible with the latest version of the emoji package.

You need to either install an older version of the emoji package like so:

pip uninstall emoji
pip install emoji==1.6.3

Or you need to install InstaPy directly from the github repository which includes the fix:

pip uninstall instapy
pip install git+https://github.com/InstaPy/InstaPy

At the moment, InstaPy is not usable as far as I know. You should consider using InstaPy2 as a replacement for InstaPy.
