Selenium is also required. It is a software testing framework that allows Python to take control of a web browser. You can install Selenium by running the following.
pip install selenium
If you have several versions of pip installed, you may need to run the follwing.
pip3 install selenium
Install other dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Chrome is used to interact with Facebook via Selenium. As such, you will need to install a driver for Chrome. The driver can be found here. If using a Unix system, add the driver to /usr/local/bin.
Make sure you are using chromedriver >= 2.42 (chromedriver --version).

First, find your Facebook user ID. At the time of writing, this tool was functional.
Run the below command in the command line from within the project directory, replacing <your_facebook_id> with your Facebook ID.
python3 facebook_photos.py <your_facebook_id>
If you'd prefer to have the photos saved elsewhere, provide another argument of the desired output directory. This results in the following command.
python3 facebook_photos.py <your_facebook_id> <your_output_directory>
