Browser mode fails WSL missing dependencies (+ solution)

[dynabler]

To get browser mode working on WSL is as follows:

$ wsl --install
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
$ sudo apt install libnss3-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libxss-dev libasound2
$ curl -fsSL https://flyscrape.com/install | bash
$ flyscrape run script.js

Below are various attempts to make it work. Attempt no. 2 worked, because dependencies for Google Chrome were installed. So I figure it must be missing dependencies. It could be 230 of them to get Chromium that Flyscrape downloads working. Every attempt was done on a clean installation of WSL Ubuntu.

Attempt 1

$ wsl --install
$ curl -fsSL https://flyscrape.com/install | bash
$ flyscrape run script.js
