Failed to download Chromium r579032

Question

I am trying to build a vue project with prerendering. it relies on prerender-spa-plugin but this plugin relies on puppeteer. so when I install prerender-spa-plugin, it always show the same error 'Failed to download Chromium r579032'

ERROR: Failed to download Chromium r579032! Set "PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD" env variableto skip download.

I tried npm install puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true

it didn't work. please let me know if you know how to solve it.

Answer 1

Try the below instead:

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

Answer 2

Set npm mirror

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