I am trying to run puppeteer on a cpanel server but it won't start up, it works fine on my pc and on heroku though.

The error i keep getting says a dependency is missing, I would know how to solve it if it was on my pc, but i can't install dependencies on the cpanel server. The nodejs version i'm working with on the server is 14.20.0

The error i keep getting is:

Failed to launch the browser process!
/home/oyaaducr/nodevenv/api/14/lib/node_modules/puppeteer-core/.local-chromium/linux-1045629/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    install the missing dependencies, google the error for further info / dupes, or go to https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/1598 – Lawrence Cherone Nov 16 '22 at 15:43

  • Lawrence Cherone, Like i said in the initial post, i can't install dependencies on the cpanel server, I have tried using several linux package managers and non of them work. I even looked through the "bin" folder in root directory and there doesn't seem to be any package managers installed, if you know how i can get around this, please let me know. – Salihu Dickson Nov 20 '22 at 18:28

You just needs to upload the local package.json to Application root then Run NPM Install to install missing dependencies

  • the missing dependency i suspect is a sub-dependency(a dependency of a dependency), so copying over the "package.json" won't help – Salihu Dickson Nov 20 '22 at 18:23
