in Kali linux:

download the tar file:

wget https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.32.0/geckodriver-v0.32.0-linux64.tar.gz

extract it to:

tar xvzf ~/Downloads/geckodriver*.tar.gz -C /tmp/
sudo chown -R root:root /tmp/geckodriver*

if you get an error, you need to install

 sudo apt install eyewitness

This problem is not related to InstaPy but the webdriverdownloader.py from webdriverdownloader. For Ubuntu you can fix the problem with sudo apt install firefox-geckodriver; Other OS will have similar solution to install the geckodirver.

For macOS users, the problem is due to the new arch ARM in macOS geckodriver-v0.30.0-macos.tar.gz and geckodriver-v0.30.0-macos-aarch64.tar.gz

Available versions Nov 2021:

['geckodriver-v0.30.0-linux32.tar.gz', 'geckodriver-v0.30.0-linux32.tar.gz.asc', 'geckodriver-v0.30.0-linux64.tar.gz', 'geckodriver-v0.30.0-linux64.tar.gz.asc', 'geckodriver-v0.30
.0-macos-aarch64.tar.gz', 'geckodriver-v0.30.0-macos.tar.gz', 'geckodriver-v0.30.0-win32.zip', 'geckodriver-v0.30.0-win64.zip']

You can patch the file for GeckoDriverDownloader -> site-packages/webdriverdownloader/webdriverdownloader.py with the following:

   1   │ diff --git a/Users/user/GitHub/InstaPy/venv39/lib/python3.9/site-packages/webdriverdownloader/webdriverdownloader.py b/Users/user/GitHub/InstaPy/venv39/lib/python3.9/

Solution is posted here: https://github.com/leonidessaguisagjr/webdriverdownloader/pull/12

You have to change a line in webdriverdownloader.py from

filename = [name for name in filenames if os_name + bitness in name]

to

filename = [name for name in filenames if os_name + bitness in name and name[-3:] != 'asc' ]

The path that the file was stored in my system was home/kali/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/webdriverdownloader

I used pip3 install webdriverdriverdownloader to find where it's stored

Adding what worked for me on Macos.

Simplest thing to do on is download the drivers from official latest github link and extract the zip folder.

Create a virtualenv and in the bin folder for the virtualenv add the geckodriver executable.

You can also manually add the path of the geckodriver using sys.path as below:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'/Users/myfolder/Downloads/geckodriver')

But this wasn't working for me for some reason. Virtualenv solution works fine.
