The most common cause is a bug in Node.js v14.0.0 which broke <code>extract-zip</code>, the
module Puppeteer uses to extract browser downloads into the right place. The bug
was fixed in Node.js v14.1.0, so please make sure you're running that version or
higher.</p><h2class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7"id="setting-up-chrome-linux-sandbox">Setting Up Chrome Linux Sandbox<aclass="hash-link"href="#setting-up-chrome-linux-sandbox"title="Direct link to heading"></a></h2><p>In order to protect the host environment from untrusted web content, Chrome uses

If you do not enable EPEL
and if you continue installing chromium as part of <code>npm install</code>, Puppeteer
cannot launch Chromium due to unavailablity of <code>libatk-1.0.so.0</code> and many more
packages.</p><h2class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7"id="code-transpilation-issues">Code Transpilation Issues<aclass="hash-link"href="#code-transpilation-issues"title="Direct link to heading"></a></h2><p>If you are using a JavaScript transpiler like babel or TypeScript, calling
<code>evaluate()</code> with an async function might not work. This is because while
<code>puppeteer</code> uses <code>Function.prototype.toString()</code> to serialize functions while
transpilers could be changing the output code in such a way it's incompatible
with <code>puppeteer</code>.</p><p>Some workarounds to this problem would be to instruct the transpiler not to mess
up with the code, for example, configure TypeScript to use latest ecma version
(<code>"target": "es2018"</code>). Another workaround could be using string templates
