We recently moved to Amazon Linux 2 and the upgrade had some changes for this config. (Revision 4)
Available Yum libs made it all a lot easier. I added the comments (prefixed with #) live in this gist, so if they break, remove them!
Linux (1) ideas are in the prior revisions.

This worked with Node.js 16 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2/5.5.6 🎉

Thank you!!

I found an easy way on Amazon Linux 2 is just:

packages: 
  yum:
    google-chrome-stable: []

This will install all required libraries with google chrome, even if you use the local installation from puppeteer afterwards.

Additionally I needed to configure the cache directory of puppeteer to a local directory, because how staging of new versions works on Elastic Beanstalk. Just put a .puppeteerrc.cjs in your project root:

const {join} = require('path');

/**
 * @type {import("puppeteer").Configuration}
 */
module.exports = {
  // Changes the cache location for Puppeteer.
  cacheDirectory: join(__dirname, '.cache', 'puppeteer'),
};

@falco467 I'm facing the similar issue with Playwright package which cannot use due to dependencies issue. Please see my latest log which I raised in StackOverflow and if you can point me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

And how do you install puppeter (in my case playwright)?

I tried with command

npx playwright install chromium but it throws error

Exactly as @SFaraji wrote in his StackOverflow answer. You need to install playwright with EBCONFIG file:

 command: PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=$HOME/pw-browsers npx playwright install
