Has anyone been able to run it in TERMUX or in an android terminal?

Puppeteer is not supported for android platform. Read this

It is possible to install pupperter in termux, just install a Linux distribution through proot-distro

pkg install proot-distro
proot-distro install alpine
proot-distro login alpine
apk update && apk add --no-cache nmap && \
  echo @edge http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community >> /etc/apk/repositories && \
  echo @edge http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main >> /etc/apk/repositories && \
  apk update && \
  apk add --no-cache \
  chromium

It worked for me, don't forget to pass the browser path in the pupperter instance. I installed the alpine because it is light and very simple, I haven't tested it with other distributions
