Could not find expected browser (chrome) locally

[cs-storm]

As a newbie to this plugin, I ran the following command and got the error.

memlab run --scenario src/tests/memlabTest.js

# The result is 'Could not find expected browser (chrome) locally. Run `npm install` to download the correct Chromium revision (982053).'

# I tried to solve it with the method on stack overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68051648/could-not-find-expected-browser-chrome-locally
npm install puppeteer --save-dev
cd ./node_modules/puppeteer                  
npm install

# The result is 'Chromium (1069273) downloaded to /Users/xxx/.cache/puppeteer/chrome/mac-1069273'
# And then I rerun the script
memlab run --scenario src/tests/memlabTest.js

# But still report the error at the beginning

@cs-storm Did you install memlab via npm install -g memlab?

Can you copy and paste the result of the following commands here?

1. memlab version
2. memlab run --scenario src/tests/memlabTest.js --verbose

[cs-storm]

memlab version

 memlab@1.1.40
 @memlab/heap-analysis@1.0.21
 @memlab/e2e@1.0.24
 @memlab/core@1.1.23
 @memlab/cli@1.0.26
 @memlab/api@1.0.23

memlab run --scenario src/tests/memlabTest.js --verbose

I confirm that memlab is installed this way

[JacksonGL]

@cs-storm If the env variable PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD is set to false, npm install puppeteer will not install Chromium. You might want to double check the node_module of your npm global install and make sure puppeteer did download the Chromium binary

[cs-storm]

I solved this problem, I found that I need to install in the puppeteer folder in node_module under global memlab

When you globally install MemLab using npm, it should automatically take care of installing all dependencies (incl. Puppeteer), as well as installing anything required by Puppeteer. I would suggest checking your npm configuration or OS permission to ensure npm is set up correctly.
