If you do not have an Instagram account you will need to create one. You can either download the Instagram app from your phones respective app store, or navigate to https://www.instagram.com/ on a laptop, and follow the screens for creating a new account.

A couple of things to think about before you attempt to connect:
If you have a personal Instagram account, you will be prompted to convert to a business Instagram account during the linking process.
You must be the business admin of the Facebook Page.
