Try just installing chromium which then installs all the required dependencies

sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
sudo yum install -y chromium
npm install puppeteer

Saved my day! Thanks a lot @hieu-e

@hieu-e

@chaudhry you need to be on amazon linux - what does /cat/etc/system-release say?

I think my AMI is old. May be I need to upgrade my server to AMI 2. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

yes that looks like the problem, mine says "Amazon Linux release 2 (Karoo)"

You can try the following if using the original Amazon Linux Amazon Machine Image

sudo yum-config-manager --enable epel

Thank you! I was trying to make Puppeteer work on Elastic Beanstalk (Amazon Linux 2). Your file was a good start but I had to make a few changes.

Sharing the working version for others: https://gist.github.com/lucashenning/8f6807eab8b5d99caafd2a507f770ba1

@lucashenning
Thanks for sharing.

What about Amazon Linux 2023 AMI ? anyone can help me ?

Any solution for Amazon Linux 2023 AMI?

I haven't look at AL2023, I know they have changed a few things. If I have time next week, will have a look. However, if I don't have time, we'll be migrating across to AL2023 next year and will look at it then.

Try this for Amazon Linux 2023

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
sudo dnf install google-chrome-stable_current_*.rpm -y
sudo dnf install nodejs -y
npm install puppeteer

@padi-dev-dangpm @Lavesh7806 have you tried the steps above?

haven't tried it, I just used node18 version with AMI2

Try this for Amazon Linux 2023

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
sudo dnf install google-chrome-stable_current_*.rpm -y
sudo dnf install nodejs -y
npm install puppeteer

That worked for me.
Thank you @hieu-e
