Installation
Using Composer
composer require sni10/insta-local
require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php'; $ig = new \InstagramAPI\Instagram();
If you want to test new and possibly unstable code that is in the master branch, and which hasn't yet been released, then you can use master instead (at your own risk):
composer require sni10/insta-local dev-master
I don't have Composer
You can download it here.
Warning about moving data to a different server
Composer checks your system's capabilities and selects libraries based on your current machine (where you are running the composer command). So if you run Composer on machine A to install this library, it will check machine A's capabilities and will install libraries appropriate for that machine (such as installing the PHP 7+ versions of various libraries). If you then move your whole installation to machine B instead, it will not work unless machine B has the exact same capabilities (same or higher PHP version and PHP extensions)! Therefore, you should always run the Composer-command on your intended target machine instead of your local machine.

What is Instagram?
According to the company:
"Instagram is a fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone, then choose a filter to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever. We're building Instagram to allow you to experience moments in your friends' lives through pictures as they happen. We imagine a world more connected through photos."
