    Run Puppeteer inside termux

Assumptions

You have termux installed and have sufficient permissions
You have loggedin as root user
You are okay with running Puppeteer inside a container (Alpine)

Gotchas

There is no build of Google Chrome available for ARM at this moment, so using chromium instead.
Installing chromium on Termux directly requires snap which is another big hurdle so alternively using alpine distro here.

Steps
proot-distro install alpine
proot-distro login alpine
apk update && apk add --no-cache nmap && \
  echo @edge http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community >> /etc/apk/repositories && \
  echo @edge http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main >> /etc/apk/repositories && \
  apk update && \
  apk add --no-cache \
  chromium
git clone https://github.com/rishabhrpg/puppeteer-on-termux.git
cd puppeteer-on-termux
yarn
node index.js
