Has Anyone Successfully Set Up Puppeter ISO? Need Tips and Troubleshooting Help!

Hey everyone,

So, I’ve been trying to get puppeter iso set up for a project, and man, it’s been a bit of a headache. 😅 I’ve followed the docs, but I keep running into weird errors during the setup.

Has anyone here successfully got puppeter iso working? I’m stuck at the part where it’s supposed to generate the ISO file, but it just throws some cryptic error about missing dependencies.

Also, if you’ve got any tips or workarounds, I’d really appreciate it! Like, did you have to tweak any configs or install specific versions of stuff?

Oh, and if anyone knows how to troubleshoot the puppeter iso process when it just hangs mid-way, that’d be a lifesaver.

Thanks in advance, y’all! 🙏

Wow, thanks so much, everyone! I tried a bunch of your suggestions, and the `--no-sandbox` flag worked like magic. Also, installing the system libraries fixed the dependency errors.

I’m still having a bit of trouble with the hanging issue, though. I tried increasing the timeout, but it didn’t help much. Anyone know if there’s a way to log what’s happening when it hangs?

Also, shoutout to the person who suggested Playwright—I’ll definitely check it out if I can’t get puppeter iso to work fully. Thanks again, y’all are the best! 🙌

Hey! I feel your pain with puppeter iso. I had the same issue with missing dependencies. Turns out, I was missing some system libraries like `libnss3` and `libatk-bridge2.0`.

Try running `sudo apt-get install -y libnss3 libatk-bridge2.0` if you're on Ubuntu. Also, make sure your Node.js version is compatible. I switched to Node 16 and it worked like a charm.

If it hangs midway, try running puppeter iso with `--no-sandbox` flag. It’s not ideal for production, but it helps debug. Good luck!

Hey! I’ve been using puppeter iso for a while now, and yeah, the setup can be tricky. The missing dependencies error is super common.

Try running `npm install -g puppeteer` and then `npm install` in your project folder. Also, make sure you’re not running out of disk space. That caused my setup to hang once.

If all else fails, try this GitHub thread: [Puppeteer ISO Issues](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues). It’s got tons of fixes.

Hey, I feel you! puppeter iso can be a nightmare. I got it working by downgrading to an older version of puppeteer. Try `npm install puppeteer@13.0.0`.

Also, if it hangs, try running it in headless mode with `headless: true` in your config. Sometimes the GUI stuff messes it up.

Good luck, and don’t give up!

Ugh, puppeter iso is such a headache. I spent hours on it too. The hanging issue is usually because of resource limits. Try running it on a machine with more RAM or CPU.

Also, this tool called [Playwright](https://playwright.dev/) is a great alternative if puppeter iso keeps failing. It’s way easier to set up and has better docs. Just a thought!

Yo, puppeter iso can be a real pain, lol. I got it working after a ton of trial and error. The cryptic errors are usually due to missing deps or wrong Node versions.

Check out this guide: [Puppeteer Troubleshooting](https://pptr.dev/troubleshooting). It saved me. Also, if it hangs, try increasing the timeout in your config. Sometimes it just needs more time to process.

Hope that helps!

Hey there! I had the same issue with puppeter iso. The errors are super vague, right? For me, the problem was Chromium not installing properly.

I fixed it by manually installing Chromium using `npm install puppeteer --ignore-scripts` and then running `PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=1 npm install`.

Also, check your firewall settings. Sometimes it blocks the process. Let me know if this works for you!
