I am trying to install PUPPETEER in windows 10 using below command and getting an error.

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 below option, still getting the same error

npm install -g puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
puppeteer node.js

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

Set the environment variable (as the error suggests):

export PUPPETEER_SKIP_DOWNLOAD='true'

and then...

npm i puppeteer

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