Puppeteer Error: Chromium revision is not downloaded

After many attempts I finally found the answer here:

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

As @vsync pointed out, this only works for linux

I only managed to fix the issue by manually installing Chromium after much searching and trying most of the suggestions:

node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js

By default, the puppeteer module will run its install script (node install.js). However, in my case, I enabled ignore-scripts=true in my ~/.npmrc file, so it was never executed.

In that case, you have to run the command yourself:

node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js

To check: node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-<your_chrome_version>/ should exist now.
