Puppeteer is not able to install: "ERROR: Failed to set up Chromium r782078! Set "PUPPETEER_SKIP_DOWNLOAD" env variable to skip download"

I am trying to install Puppeteer in Windows 10 using the below command and am getting an error.

The command used to install Puppeteer:

npm install --save PUPPETEER

Error:

ERROR: Failed to set up Chromium r782078! Set "PUPPETEER_SKIP_DOWNLOAD" env variable to skip download.
Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain

I have also tried the below option, but I am still getting the same error.

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

Upgrading puppeteer version to 23.0.2 worked for me with NodeJS 18.

Without puppeteer and chromium driver, test cases and test report generation was failing.

Set an npm mirror:

npm config set puppeteer_download_host=https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors
npm i puppeteer

It will work.

If you want to run stencil.js and start its developer server, in running the npm install command I had the above error, and by using a recommendation I handled the problem.

Note: This is for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver). 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

I had to delete Puppeteer from package.json and redo npm install, in order to make it work.

In my case, I was connected to a VPN which caused me issue in installing Puppeteer.
