Manage and launch browsers/drivers from a CLI or programmatically.
CLI
Use npx to run the CLI:
npx @puppeteer/browsers --help
Built-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 command
Some 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 [email protected]
# 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 [email protected]
Known limitations
- Launching the system browsers is only possible for Chrome/Chromium.
