I am having toruble installing the puppeteer library

问题

I am trying to build a simple web scraper and the first thing I have to do is install the puppeteer library. So I run the commands (I am on the latest linux Mint): sudo npm init -y and sudo npm i puppeteer but I get these errors:

▌ ╢░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░╟

Any ideas why this is happening?

回答1:

It looks like you need to upgrade your Node.js version. The warning in the output:

WARN engine puppeteer@3.0.2: wanted: {"node":">=10.18.1"} (current: {"node":"8.10.0","npm":"3.5.2"})

indicates you're running Node 8.10 and Puppeteer expects Node >= 10.18.1.
