Recommended action: Run `ldd chrome | grep not` to list missing libs and install them (Debian list in docs); on Amazon Linux enable EPEL and `yum install chromium`; on WSL install Chrome for Linux to pull dependencies. Option: Run `ldd chrome | grep not` to list missing libs and install them (Debian list in docs); on Amazon Linux enable EPEL and `yum install chromium`; on WSL install Chrome for Linux to pull dependencies. [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: puppeteer.launch() on a minimal Linux host/container, Amazon Linux EC2, or WSL Steps: 1. ldd <path-to-chrome> | grep not 2. Install the Debian/Ubuntu dependency list from the troubleshooting doc (or use the official Docker recipe) 3. Amazon Linux: sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y && sudo yum install -y chromium 4. WSL: install Google Chrome for Linux or the listed apt packages Expected: The error no longer appears. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
