puppeteer not able to install: ERROR: Failed to set up Chromium r782078! Set “PUPPETEER_SKIP_DOWNLOAD” env variable to skip download

Note this is for Ubuntu 18, however, it should be a similar process for Windows though.

Set the environment variable (as the error suggests):

MAC

export PUPPETEER_SKIP_DOWNLOAD='true'

Windows

SET PUPPETEER_SKIP_DOWNLOAD='true'

and then…

npm i puppeteer
