Facing this issue while trying to install as root

the problem may be caused by your internet can’t download the newest Chromium，so you can use npm install puppeteer --ignore-scripts to skip download

and then，when you use the script ，you should set the executablePath like

const path = require('path');
// the browser path
const path = path.resolve('C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe')

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    executablePath: path
})

Hello Thank you for your solution. I did the first command (npm install puppeteer --ignore-scripts) and it worked well. But I do not know how to run this code/command. Could you please explain more? I am not familiar with that.
