Not sure if this is okay to ask here, but I’m looking for some guidance. I am not at all tech savvy, or versed in tech.

In November of last year I very unexpectedly lost my dog, and best friend, Captain. A few months before that the folks at the us-cellular store accidentally wiped my phone. I had so many photos and videos rendered unrecoverable - just lost to the ether. I would love help finding a way to get all the photos I have of him off the social media account I used to use, I don’t have many photos of him and would like to be able to have more regardless of what happens with instagram in the future.

I have seen both instaloader and jdownloader recommended for that. The problem is I can figure out how to download instaloader or how to access jdownloder (I meant it - not tech savvy). If there is a how-to guide any of you could share, or even a YouTube video you’d recommend on this that would be greatly appreciated. I seem to just keep getting mixed or out of date info.

Thanks!
