                <p>-> Now, once you've setup the settings on the server above, download the "Mechnet Automator.rar" and
                    extract
                    it.</p> <br>
                <p>-> Install "Nodejs" by downloading the latest version from here: <a

                <p>And double clicking it and by clicking the usual Next-Next. Though just remember to Tick the below
                    encircled setting during the installation process. (Setting name: "Automatically Install Necessary
                    tools.") (see below image) <br>
                    and also this will ask to run as administrator to install some dependencies via powershell.</p>
                <img src="./Images/node-tick-installation.png" alt="DashboardImg"
                    style="width:70vw; display:block; margin:20px auto;" />
                <p>-> And when that's done, run the app by Right-clicking on "MechNetAutomator.exe" file and selecting
                    "Run as
                    Administrator". (Please Run it as Administrator when running 1st time)</p><br>
                <p>-> Next Enter the username and password (same as the ones used earlier to login on the server) and
                    press
                    Enter. </p> <br>
                <p>-> During this it'll check for dependencies and will install them if needed.
                    It'll take a couple of minutes. After that it'll ask you to restart it.
                    Just restart it then.</p> <br>
                <p>-> Then it'll ask which account you want to run (when this comes up, it means all the dependencies
                    have
                    been
                    installed successfully) (see below image):</p>

                <p>Here we can Just enter your choice and start running. BUT WAIT, as we skipped 1 setting earlier
                    ("UDID"), we'll 1st set that now before proceeding.</p><br>
                <p>further, as all the required dependencies are now already setup, which were necessary for fetching
                    it.
                </p> <br>
                <p>For that we'll need to connect our phone to the PC.</p> <br> <br> <br>
                <p style="text-align: center; font-weight: 800;">##Connecting your device to PC.</p> <br><br>
                <p>->A few settings that needs to be enabled in phone's Developer settings to run the autommation, if
                    available (if they're not available, then you can ignore these).</p> <br>
                <p style="font-weight: 600;">1. Enable Developer Option.</p> <br>
                <p style="border: 1px solid white; border-radius: 5px;">Step 1: Go to Settings Open the Settings app on
                    your
                    Android phone. <br> <br>

                    Step 2: Scroll down and select "About phone" or "About device" The exact label may vary depending on
                    your device and Android version. <br><br>

                    Step 3: Find the "Build number" option Scroll down to the bottom of the "About phone" or "About
                    device"
                    page and find the "Build number" option. <br><br>

                    Step 4: Tap the "Build number" option 7 times, This will enable Developer Options on your device.
                    <br><br>

                    Step 5: Go back to the main Settings page After tapping the "Build number" option 7 times, go back
                    to
                    the main Settings page. <br><br>

                    Step 6: Find the "Developer options" menu You should now see a new menu item called "Developer
                    options"
                    or "Developer settings". This menu may be located at the bottom of the Settings page or in a
                    separate
                    section, depending on your device and Android version.
                </p> <br>
                <p style="font-weight: 600;">2. Go to the last option called -> Disable Permission Monitoring -> enable
                    it.
                    in Developer Option
                    (See below image).</p>

                <p style="font-weight: 600;">3. Enable all the highlighted options in Developer Option
                    (See below image).</p>
                <img src="./Images/debugging-settings.png" alt="DashboardImg"
                    style="width:40vw; display:block; margin:20px auto;" />
                <p style="font-weight: 600;">4. Disable all the highlighted options in Developer Option
                    (See below image).</p>
                <img src="./Images/verify-apps-bytecoder.png" alt="DashboardImg"
                    style="width:40vw; display:block; margin:20px auto;" />
                <p>-> Now when your phone is connected to the PC, run this
                    "GetUDID.exe". <br> And copy the below marked Text into that "UDID" field (that we skipped
                    in the
                    above steps) and save..(see below image)</p>
                <img src="./Images/adb-devices.png" alt="DashboardImg"

                    style="width:70vw; display:block; margin:20px auto;" />
                <p>-> Now run the app again. And enter your choice when it asks for account selection for running, and
                    press
                    enter.</p> <br> <br><br>
                <p style="text-align: center; font-weight: 800;">A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:</p> <br><br>
                <p>Make sure your Instagram App's Language is not set to anything other than "English". <br>
                    If it is, then please change it to "English", else it won't be able to work properly. <br>
                    (Note: Don't choose "English UK", it has different tags than "English" )</p> <br> <br> <br>

                    at
                    the top. For example in above screenshot we've added some hashtags in "Target List", and selected
                    "HASHTAGS" as the 'Target Type' at the top.</p> <br><br><br>

                    (And don't use the latest Bluestacks 5, it's very buggy currently. And not good for automation.)

                    After installing, open Bluestacks and goto settings, select preferences and scroll to botton enable

                <p style="font-weight: 500; margin-top: 20px; word-break: break-all;">=> To repost from Scrapings done
                    using "4k Stogram (link:
                    <a href="https://www.4kdownload.com/products/product-stogram"
                        style="text-decoration: underline; color: blue;">https://www.4kdownload.com/products/product-stogram</a>)",
                    Create a folder named "data" in
                    "MechNetAutomator" folder,
                </p>
                <img src="./Images/data-in-mechnetautomator.png" alt="DashboardImg"
                    style="width:70vw; display:block; margin:20px auto;" />
                <p>and set that as "Output Folder" in 4k Stogram's "Tools > Preferences",</p>
                <img src="./Images/4KStogram-Location.png" alt="DashboardImg"
                    style="width:70vw; display:block; margin:20px auto;" />
                <p>After selection, it'll show something like "E:/MechNetAutomator/data/4K Stogram". 4k Stogram will
                    automatically create that folder named "4k Stogram" in that selected "data" folder, and will start
                    saving subscribed sources' posts in that. <br> <br>
                    Enable this 473 setting and put the appropriate scraped folder name from inside "4k Stogram" folder
                    (for example: #food ) in 474 setting. <br> <br>
                    If you want to use same captions as original posts, (currently 4kStogram doesn't support auto saving
                    of captions, so we'll have to do it manually for now. And poke them to add this feature (auto
                    caption saving feature) ). <br> <br>
                    So, after when scraping is done via your 4kStogram, Make sure to export captions by clicking on
                    "File > Export Posts"</p>
                <img src="./Images/Export-Option-4kStogram.png" alt="DashboardImg"
                    style="width:70vw; display:block; margin:20px auto;" />
                <p>And export that file as "captions.csv" under earlier selected folder for scraping ("4k Stogram" in
                    "data" folder of "MechNetAutomator" folder.). And MechNet will fetch the captions from this file
                    while scheduling the posts and will take care of the rest.

                <p>
                    And yes, Every post will get scheduled only once on each account (there will be no duplicate posts
                    on single account).</p>
