Manage and launch browsers/drivers from a CLI or programmatically.
Use npx to run the CLI:
npx @puppeteer/browsers --helpBuilt-in per-command help will provide all documentation you need to use the CLI.
npx @puppeteer/browsers --help # help for all commands
npx @puppeteer/browsers install --help # help for the install command
npx @puppeteer/browsers launch --help # help for the launch commandSome example to give an idea of what the CLI looks like (use the --help command for more examples):
# Download the latest available Chrome for Testing binary corresponding to the Stable channel.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome@stable
# Download a specific Chrome for Testing version.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome@116.0.5793.0
# Download the latest Chrome for Testing version for the given milestone.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome@117
# Download the latest available ChromeDriver version corresponding to the Canary channel.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install chromedriver@canary
# Download a specific ChromeDriver version.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install chromedriver@116.0.5793.0- Launching the system browsers is only possible for Chrome/Chromium.
The programmatic API allows installing and launching browsers from your code. See the test folder for examples on how to use the install, canInstall, launch, computeExecutablePath, computeSystemExecutablePath and other methods.
