Description

Hi,
When i launch the quickstart.py script, I always seen the same error, for me or my friends testing InstaPy.

If anyone have an issues.. Thanks !

`Error, unable to determine correct filename for 64bit linux

Research direction

Start with quickstart.py at line 14 and trace the session setup into instapy/browser.py, then inspect the webdriverdownloader traceback and its get_download_url path. Reproduce the 64-bit Linux failure and document or verify a fix so quickstart.py starts without the reported RuntimeError.
