hmmm. I cannot seem to get the code to work on my mac. Can anyone assist? It might be related to the python my computer is using?

Now I have this error message on PyCharm:
/Users/student/PycharmProjects/youtube/venv/bin/python "/Users/student/Desktop/youtube vid/instagram.py"
File "/Users/student/Desktop/youtube vid/instagram.py", line 1
import selenium from webdriver
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Process finished with exit code 1

How do you add the comments.txt, config.json and hashtags.txt to the code? I am receiving the following error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './instaRes/config.json'

I am able to login, but I am kicked out right away. Thank you
