@vigneshtdev we currently don’t support Debian - please feel free to upvote #3167 to have it covered.

I have the same problem as the original poster. This is my system (a Debian VPS):

  System:
    OS: Linux 4.19 Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) 10 (buster)
    Memory: 6.40 GB / 9.76 GB
    Container: Yes
  Binaries:
    Node: 14.15.1 - /usr/bin/node
    npm: 6.14.8 - /usr/bin/npm
  Languages:
    Bash: 5.0.3 - /usr/bin/bash
  npmPackages:
    playwright: ^1.9.2 => 1.9.2

I have no problems running my code locally on a Windows machine but get the error above on the server.

I tried to install them with this command but the error interestingly stayed the same sudo apt-get install -y libgtk-3.so.0 libgdk-3.so.0 libX11-xcb.so.1 libXcomposite.so.1 libXcursor.so.1 libXdamage.so.1 libXfixes.so.3 libXi.so.6 libXrender.so.1 libdbus-glib-1.so.2 libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 libpango-1.0.so.0 libatk-1.0.so.0 libcairo-gobject.so.2 libcairo.so.2 libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 libxcb-shm.so.0 libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 libXt.so.6

What confuses me a little is that the output above tells me the VPS is running as a container. I am not running it in a container. It is most likely virtualized by my hosting provider but not specifically in a container. It should be a normal Debian installation.

EDIT:

@thernstig I now ran all the install commands that were listed in the Docker file and now it works. Thank you.
