Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/issues/428

I get the following error:
[03/27 07:51:47] 'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have latest version which says everything with grep is fixed but clearly it isnt. Any help please?

C:\script-instagram>

I have downloaded the IG apk from the url that gives the script because I was using latest version of IG.
I have enabled usb debug (when usb connected) but I can't find the option for allow app installation from usb -_-
The script opens IG without problem but It keeps open and on the tablet screen without activity. I tried to let 2 minutes and I get the same result.

Help please!
