Centos – Using npm to install puppetteer gives Error: Cannot find module 'puppeteer/internal/node/install.js'

Trying to install puppeteer on Centos 7

npm i puppeteer

> [email protected] postinstall /mypath/node_modules/puppeteer
> node install.js

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:775
    throw err;
    ^

}

It doesn’t seem to have downloaded anything into the node_modules/ directory, which I think "npm i" should do, and all of the tutorials I have read do not ask you perform any action or download, before running the npm command.

What do I need to do, to make this install puppeteer? (with chrome)

    I was getting this error because my node version was too old (version 10) but fixed it by switching to version 16.

    To fix this I used nvm from the command line as follows:

    nvm use 16
nvm alias default 16

    With recent versions of puppeteer install.js has been renamed as install.mjs.

    Changing the filename in your script might be the solution you need.
