Known issues

missing Chrome / Chromium dependency for Windows binary (.exe)

On Windows it may happen that the bundled binary throws the following error:

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Chromium revision is not downloaded. Run "npm install" or "yarn install" at Launcher.launch

This is a known issue with all solutions like pkg and nexe and expected as Chromium is not bundled with the binary which would make it much bigger.

In most cases it should be solved by globally installing puppeteer or by having Chrome or Chromium installed and in PATH.
