# Instagram Followers Check
Hello guys! I recently took a course on web crawling and had this idea of creating a IG followers check program. I'll put the link to my code here:

To be able to execute the file successfully, you'll need to download Chrome Driver if you don't have one already. I will be doing a brief walk through on how to do that here.

### Step 1: Check your current Chrome version
Open Chrome and click on the three-dots icon at the top right-hand corner. Scroll all the way down to **Help**, and click on **About Google Chrome**. You should be able to see something like this showing up on your screen:

This image shows that the user has Chrome version 91. 

### Step 2: Download Chrome Driver
Simply click on the link below to get to the installation page:

Once you've gotten to the installation page, click on the Chrome's link. It should get you to this page:

Select the one that corresponds to your current version. It should get you to a page that looks like this:

Download the one that matches with your operating system, upzip the file, follow through the instructions that they give you, then you are good to go!

I hope this helped!
