Failed to download Chromium r536395! Set "PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD" env variable to skip download.

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

• Puppeteer version: Not installed
• Platform / OS version: win10x64
• URLs (if applicable):
• Node.js version: 8.10.0

What steps will reproduce the problem? I ran npm install --save-dev puppeteer and get a error message as follows:

ERROR: Failed to download Chromium r536395! Set "PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD" env variable to skip download.

What is the expected result? Puppeteer gets installed

What happens instead? It doesn’t get installed and the error message appears

sudo npm install -g puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

Solves the issue to me.
