# Running the examples

Assuming you have a checkout of the Puppeteer repo and have run npm i (or yarn) to install the dependencies, the examples can be run from the root folder like so:

```sh
NODE_PATH=../ node examples/search.js
```

# Tips & Tricks

### Load a Chrome extension

By default, Puppeteer disables extensions when launching Chrome. You can load a specific
extension using:

```js
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
  headless: false,
  args: [
    '--disable-extensions-except=/path/to/extension/',
    '--load-extension=/path/to/extension/',
  ]
});
```
