# @puppeteer/browsers
|
|
|
|
Manage and launch browsers/drivers from a CLI or programmatically.
|
|
|
|
## CLI
|
|
|
|
Use `npx` to run the CLI:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx @puppeteer/browsers --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
CLI help will provide all documentation you need to use the CLI.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Known limitations
|
|
|
|
1. We support installing and running Firefox, Chrome and Chromium. The `latest`, `beta`, `dev`, `canary`, `stable` keywords are only supported for the install command. For the `launch` command you need to specify an exact build ID. The build ID is provided by the `install` command (see `npx @puppeteer/browsers install --help` for the format).
|
|
2. Launching the system browsers is only possible for Chrome/Chromium.
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
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.
