However what happens when you want to download images of an entire account? On Linux we are lucky, we have a utility, called instalooter. This python utility works from the command line, and really simple to use.

We need to install pip (which is a package management system for software written in python). This can have different names, depending on your distribution, so search for it and install.

After that, go to your favorite terminal and install instalooter with sudo for all users:

$ sudo pip install instalooter

This will take care of all dependencies.

If you want to install it for only you, then use this command, without sudo:

$ pip install --user instalooter --pre

After installation, you have some options, according to the github page.

But here is what I used:

$ instalooter user itdoesnttastelikechicken samthevegan

This will download the user "itdoesnttastelikechicken" into the "samthevegan" directory, where you executed the command.

If you need a specific post, check their github page for the options.
