Installation problem with MacOS M1 chip

[shinokada]

I get the following errors on macOS M1 chip. Is there any workarounds to solve this?

$ npm install --global pageres-cli

/Users/shinichiokada/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.6/bin/pageres -> /Users/shinichiokada/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.6/lib/node_modules/pageres-cli/cli.js

> puppeteer@5.5.0 install /Users/shinichiokada/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.6/lib/node_modules/pageres-cli/node_modules/puppeteer
> node install.js

The chromium binary is not available for arm64:
If you are on Ubuntu, you can install with:

 apt-get install chromium-browser

/Users/shinichiokada/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.6/lib/node_modules/pageres-cli/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/cjs/puppeteer/node/BrowserFetcher.js:112

sudo npm install pageres-cli --unsafe-perm

Its May 2022. I failed several months ago to get pageres working on my silicon M1 iMac with Big Sur. It seemed like it would all get resolved. I tried to install again just now and failed. I uninstalled pageres, pageres-cli, puppeteer (using npm). I updated node, I updated npm, I updated brew. I have node v18.1.0, npm 8.8.0. I re-installed pageres, then pageres-cli which failed with error chromium binary not available. I installed chromium using Brew, when I went to launch chromium, it said the application was damaged, I unlocked it from the terminal with xattr -cr /applications/chromium.app. I installed pageres-cli again, I added this to my .zshrc file export PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true export PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=which chromium and eventually pageres runs but fails with an error:

Error: Failed to launch the browser process! spawn /usr/bin/chromium-browser ENOENT

I manually updated puppeteer, uninstalled and reinstalled pageres and pagres-cli. But I get the same error.

I've searched and searched, I've done what everybody else seems to be doing, but I can't get it to work.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Hm. I downgraded to node 12, based on a post on this thread, and it worked after installing pageres and pageres-cli again.

I have no idea why.

Looks like it has something to do with puppeteer/puppeteer#6622, puppeteer/puppeteer#6495, etc. I think upgrading pupeteer (transitively also capture-website) would solve it.

For those using the library as it is, passing the correct path to the chromium binary to launchOptions should solve it. For those using the pageres-cli (such as me) I don't think there's any hope as of now.

Try the latest version: https://github.com/sindresorhus/pageres/releases/tag/v7.0.0 It may have resolved the issue.
