@puppeteer/browsers
Manage and launch browsers/drivers from a CLI or programmatically.
System requirements
- A compatible Node version (see
enginesinpackage.json). - For Firefox downloads:
- Linux builds:
xzandbzip2utilities are required to unpack.tar.gzand.tar.bz2archives. - MacOS builds:
hdiutilis required to unpack.dmgarchives.
- Linux builds:
CLI
Use npx to run the CLI:
1# This will install and run the @puppeteer/browsers package. 2# If it is already installed in the current directory, the installed 3# version will be used. 4npx @puppeteer/browsers --help
Built-in per-command help will provide all documentation you need to use the CLI.
1npx @puppeteer/browsers --help # help for all commands 2npx @puppeteer/browsers install --help # help for the install command 3npx @puppeteer/browsers launch --help # help for the launch command 4npx @puppeteer/browsers clear --help # help for the clear command 5npx @puppeteer/browsers list --help # help for the list command
You can specify the version of the @puppeteer/browsers when using
npx:
1# Always install and use the latest version from the registry. 2npx @puppeteer/browsers@latest --help 3# Always use a specifc version. 4npx @puppeteer/browsers@2.4.1 --help 5# Always install the latest version and automatically confirm the installation. 6npx --yes @puppeteer/browsers@latest --help
To clear all installed browsers, use the clear command:
1npx @puppeteer/browsers clear
To list all installed browsers, use the list command:
1npx @puppeteer/browsers list
Some example to give an idea of what the CLI looks like (use the --help command for more examples):
1# Download the latest available Chrome for Testing binary corresponding to the Stable channel. 2npx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome@stable 3 4# Download a specific Chrome for Testing version. 5npx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome@116.0.5793.0 6 7# Download the latest Chrome for Testing version for the given milestone. 8npx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome@117 9 10# Download the latest available ChromeDriver version corresponding to the Canary channel. 11npx @puppeteer/browsers install chromedriver@canary 12 13# Download a specific ChromeDriver version. 14npx @puppeteer/browsers install chromedriver@116.0.5793.0 15 16# On Ubuntu/Debian and only for Chrome, install the browser and required system dependencies. 17# If the browser version has already been installed, the command 18# will still attempt to install system dependencies. 19# Requires root privileges. 20npx puppeteer browsers install chrome --install-deps
Known limitations
- Launching the system browsers is only possible for Chrome/Chromium.
