Puppeteer Error: Chromium revision is not downloaded

Question

I used npm i puppeteer as stated in the Documentation and I\'m getting the following error:

(node:2066) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Chr

Answer 1

By default, the puppeteer module will run its install script (node install.js). However, in my case, I enabled ignore-scripts=true in my ~/.npmrc file, so it was never executed.

In that case, you have to run the command yourself:

node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js

To check: node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-/ should exist now.
