1. Clone this repository :
   

git clone https://github.com/kevinadhiguna/insta-profpic-downloader.git

2. Build the docker image of this app :
   

docker build -t <image-name>:<tag> .

Replace the <image-name> and <tag> with whatever you want.
Let's say you want to name it insta-profpic and apply latest as the tag. In this case you might run :

docker build -t insta-profpic:latest .

3. Run the docker image :
   

docker run -it -v "$(pwd):/app" <image-name>:<tag>

Just a quick example : if you name it insta-profpic and gave latest as the tag, then you should run :

docker run -it -v "$(pwd):/app" insta-profpic:latest

or if you want to remove the docker container after stopping it automatically, you can append --rm :

docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/app" insta-profpic:latest
