I used a extension to get cookies

Step 1 i'm on my instagram profile

Step 2 i click the extension and it shows me three options

Step 3 it shows "export as" "export" "copy" "export all cookies"

Step 4 i clicked export all cookies and moved the cookies.txt to my gallery-dl folder.

Step 5 i tried typing "gallery-dl -c/--cookies [the path to the cookies] didnt work

step 6 i tried doing it with just the --cookies part didnt work

step 7 i tried doing -c with path to the file and didnt work

Step 4 i clicked export all cookies and moved the cookies.txt to my gallery-dl folder.

Then you should be able to run

gallery-dl --cookies cookies.txt "https://www.instagram.com/USER"

gallery-dl --cookies cookies.txt "https://www.instagram.com/USER"

Make sure your exported cookies.txt file is in the same directory as your cmd.exe opens in, so either export/move it to that directory or cd to the directory where cookies.txt is in.

I think you can also drag-and.drop the cookies.txt file from explorer into the cmd.exe window to get its full path there.
