1. npm i puppeteer causes an error

ERROR: Failed to download Chromium r579032! Set “PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD” env variable to skip download. { Error: unable to verify the first certificate at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (_tls_wrap.js:1047:34) at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:182:13) at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:629:8) code: ‘UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE’ } npm WARN Desktop@1.0.0 No description npm WARN Desktop@1.0.0 No repository field.

I also tried npm i puppeteer on Windows Subsystem Ubuntu (version 16.04.4 LTS) and i get the same error.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

You can install it by setting --unsafe-perm=true parameter as: npm install puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true

Set to true to suppress the UID/GID switching when running package scripts. If set explicitly to false, then installing as a non-root user will fail.

@aslushnikov Thank you 😃. I was able to install puppeteer. It was completely my fault. Thank you for your time and sorry.
