No usable sandbox! Update your kernel or see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_suid_sandbox_development.md for more information on developing with the SUID sandbox. If you want to live dangerously and need an immediate workaround, you can try using --no-sandbox.

Right in the error output. Did you go to the referenced page and read what it says about the problem and how to address it?

@Garbee Thanks to replay

yes，I read that page and try:

sudo chown root:root chrome_sandbox && sudo chmod 4755 chrome_sandbox && \
    export CHROME_DEVEL_SANDBOX="$PWD/chrome_sandbox"

get some other error:

You need to convert the package names to be RHEL names. Those are only the Debian names.

@Garbee I don't know how to convert, google them one by one ...?

That or grab an RPM copy of the installer and use software management tools to look at what the dependencies of the package are.

Having a similar issue. Here's what I discovered:

I had installed one of the missing packages manually, but it still doesn't find it. I can see that particular package under /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.

So bottom of line , puppeteer can not work on centos !

Here's another issue I'm running into when trying on Docker Centos7:

[root@3dd3c09a9d40 opt]# npm install -g puppeteer

[email protected] install /usr/lib/node_modules/puppeteer
node install.js

Download failed: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/lib/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium'

• [email protected]
  added 36 packages in 2.437s

I'm running as root. Not sure if that's the issue. I've changed ownership on that folder path. Even tried to create that folder manually and tried with sudo, yet I get that same error repeatedly.

@rlog try install fonts?

yum install ipa-gothic-fonts xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi xorg-x11-utils xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-misc -y

I am using centos 6.9 , is there any step by step guide to install "puppeteer" on ?

node : v8.4.0
npm : 5.3.0
uname -a
Linux server 2.6.32-673.26.1.lve1.4.24.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 29 17:09:57 EDT 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The best solution at this point is to use Ubuntu and follow these instructions #290 (comment).

I started development on OSX and didn't realize about this issue until we decided to go into production 😮.

@theoutlander Why install puppeteer globally in the first place? When installing globally and you're going into a non-user folder (as you are) you need to run as root. Hence why it is not recommended.

@Garbee you're right! I was running into other installation issues and overlooked that I was installing globally. (I recall seeing it, but was thinking I need to install it globally)

@Garbee kindly may you advice step by step for centos 6.X , i am very confused how to install ...

@historylife Upgrade to CentOS 7. 6 is no longer supported.

@Garbee i dont follow you , do you advise me to upgrade to CentOS 7. 6

@liulangyu90316 I have the same problem, centos7.3, I installed all the dependency but got socket hang up, and I can run ./chrome -v --no-sandbox --disable-setuid-sandbox but can not run puppeteer. After install your font dependency, everything got right. Thank you!

which OS is recommend？ I can change my OS （except macOS and Windows）

@rlog you can take centos 7.3, same with me, and see this

@zhuyingda 's notes above will allow you to run puppeteer with --no-sandbox, but this is insecure as the sandbox is intended to isolate the process from the system.

The error message itself ('No usable sandbox!'), states If you want to live dangerously and need an immediate workaround, you can try using --no-sandbox..

Running without a sandbox should be considered bad practice and potentially harmful.

Then again, if it works, it works.

In recap:
Install the deps by running:
yum install pango.x86_64 libXcomposite.x86_64 libXcursor.x86_64 libXdamage.x86_64 libXext.x86_64 libXi.x86_64 libXtst.x86_64 cups-libs.x86_64 libXScrnSaver.x86_64 libXrandr.x86_64 GConf2.x86_64 alsa-lib.x86_64 atk.x86_64 gtk3.x86_64 ipa-gothic-fonts xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi xorg-x11-utils xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-misc -y
... and in the source file, when you launch the browser itself specify:
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ args: ['--no-sandbox']})

With that you'll be good to go (or should hopefully be), but it's playing a risky game, especially if this is a production system.

(Out of curiosity I checked, and thankfully; you can't run chrome --no-sandbox as root. ref. Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180)

If you're a lunatic you can spend a few days trying to compile chromium from source, then compile the sandbox from source, and attempt to monkey-patch them together.
Build Chromium
Build Sandbox

Although if you look at the top of the Build Sandbox link, it appears they'll be dumping support for the SUID sandbox in favor User namespaces sandbox (sandbox list). Here's the thing, it looks like the chromium issue for replacing SUID has been open since 2013 so I wouldn't bank on that fixing this.

I have the same problem，too。

node:v8.4.0
centos:centos-release-7-2.1511.el7.centos.2.10.x86_64

(node:21521) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: Failed to connect to chrome!
(node:21521) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

@JustinYi922 You can try the font requirements which I mentioned

I tried the yum install of all the dependencies mentioned in the troubleshooting doc and in this forum, and atk and gtk3 are no longer available. I had to find them elsewhere using rpm, so making use of puppeteer in production systems seems to be difficult. Is there anyway to resolve dependencies through package.json npm, I do not want to make customers do major installs to use a reports system as I try to replace phantomjs.

Seems so convoluted. I hope you can get it working on CentOS 7. I managed to do it a month or so back. Actually had to switch servers and upgrade from CentOS 6 to run Puppeteer.

I have been trying to get non-docker centos7 puppeteer working and originally was running a big series of yum+rpm I found, which I complained about here. But combing through again I was able to use the solution last appended by jjejj on Mar 12, so edited this append.
Though cleaner with just yum, installing 21 libraries seems painful, if anyone figures out a LD_LIBRARY_PATH solution please append. I also appreciate the docker suggestion, I went down that path and did get things working well, but can't get the installer updated in time. Maybe next release :)

Try sudo yum install -y chromium then run npm I again and run your app.

Hope this helps for you , it resolved my issue.

thanks !

Thanks @Sanjay007 !!

Hope this helps for you , it resolved my issue.
Pupeteer Sandbox Issue resolved

This solved my problem with the sandbox too!

#as root
cd /path-to/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-XXXX/chrome-linux/
mv chrome_sandbox chrome-sandbox
chown root chrome-sandbox
chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox

Please update the docs on the sandbox for the current advise is not working at all in Centos7.

Thanks god your fix work on my env, i'm on centos 7.8 using taiko

I have installed all the dependencies for centos, but it show , how to solve it?

./chrome --headless
./chrome: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/firefox/bundled/lib64/libcairo-gobject.so.2: undefined symbol: cairo_region_destroy

have you solved this problem? i faced this issue too

In our case (Amazon Linux 2) we fixed it by:

yum install -y alsa-lib.x86_64 \
atk.x86_64 \
cups-libs.x86_64 \
gtk3.x86_64 \
ipa-gothic-fonts \
libXcomposite.x86_64 \
libXcursor.x86_64 \
libXdamage.x86_64 \
libXext.x86_64 \
libXi.x86_64 \
libXrandr.x86_64 \
libXScrnSaver.x86_64 \
libXtst.x86_64 \
pango.x86_64 \
xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi \
xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi \
xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic \
xorg-x11-fonts-misc \
xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 \
xorg-x11-utils
yum update nss -y

As explained in the docs: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md#chrome-headless-doesnt-launch-on-unix
We also scaled up to slightly more ram when it hung after doing the above.

Hope that helps someone.

On a barebones install of CentOS 7 (on Amazon AWS EC2), I was able to get chrome headless running with the following:
sudo yum install atk java-atk-wrapper at-spi2-atk gtk3 libXt

For anybody trying to get puppeteer to work on a ubi8 image, this exact combination of dependencies worked for me:

FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/nodejs-12:latest
USER root
RUN yum install -y alsa-lib.x86_64 atk.x86_64 cups-libs.x86_64 gtk3.x86_64 \
    libXcomposite.x86_64 libXcursor.x86_64 libXdamage.x86_64 \
    libXext.x86_64 libXi.x86_64 libXrandr.x86_64 libXScrnSaver.x86_64 \
    libXtst.x86_64 pango.x86_64 xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 libdrm-2.4.101-1.el8.x86_64 \
    mesa-libgbm-20.1.4-1.el8.x86_64 libxshmfence-1.3-2.el8.x86_64 nss.i686 \
    && yum update -y && yum clean all 
USER 1001 

keepping focus

My environment:

• Aliyun ECS（similar to AWS EC2）
• CentOS Linux release 7.2 (Core)
• Node.js v12.16.2
• Npm 6.14.4
• Error Info:

Running with gitlab-ci-multi-runner ...
...
/.../node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-901912/chrome-linux/chrome: 
error while loading shared libraries: libatk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
...

After executing the command mentioned in the link below, it no longer prompts that libatk-1.0.so.0 is missing

sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
sudo yum install -y chromium

Now Puppeteer can launch Chromium to run your tests. If you do not enable EPEL and if you continue installing chromium as part of npm install, Puppeteer cannot launch Chromium due to unavailablity of libatk-1.0.so.0 and many more packages. —— https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md#running-puppeteer-on-aws-ec2-instance-running-amazon-linux

Later you may encounter "No sandbox available!", you can check this link:

https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md#setting-up-chrome-linux-sandbox

If the above method does not work, it is recommended to read the troubleshooting document and try it, it should help:

https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md

@zhuyingda 's notes above will allow you to run puppeteer with --no-sandbox, but this is insecure as the sandbox is intended to isolate the process from the system.

The error message itself ('No usable sandbox!'), states If you want to live dangerously and need an immediate workaround, you can try using --no-sandbox..

Running without a sandbox should be considered bad practice and potentially harmful.

Then again, if it works, it works.

In recap: Install the deps by running: yum install pango.x86_64 libXcomposite.x86_64 libXcursor.x86_64 libXdamage.x86_64 libXext.x86_64 libXi.x86_64 libXtst.x86_64 cups-libs.x86_64 libXScrnSaver.x86_64 libXrandr.x86_64 GConf2.x86_64 alsa-lib.x86_64 atk.x86_64 gtk3.x86_64 ipa-gothic-fonts xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi xorg-x11-utils xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-misc -y ... and in the source file, when you launch the browser itself specify: const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ args: ['--no-sandbox']})

With that you'll be good to go (or should hopefully be), but it's playing a risky game, especially if this is a production system.

thank you very much

sudo yum install atk java-atk-wrapper at-spi2-atk gtk3 libXt

I tried installing the packages individually as it complained, but it wouldn't update. Thanks for this.

This worked for me

RUN dnf install -y libdrm libgbm nss at-spi2-atk cups-libs pango libxkbcommon libXcomposite libXdamage libXrandr alsa-lib

@kapraran for me, this worked too on Amazon Linux
