Run puppeteer inside termux

Run Puppeteer inside termux

Assumptions

• You have termux installed and have sufficient permissions
• You have loggedin as root user
• You are okay with running Puppeteer inside a container (Alpine)

Gotchas

• There is no build of Google Chrome available for ARM at this moment, so using chromium instead.
• Installing chromium on Termux directly requires snap which is another big hurdle so alternively using alpine distro here.

Steps

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
git clone https://github.com/rishabhrpg/puppeteer-on-termux.git
cd puppeteer-on-termux
yarn
node index.js

• If you see a message "screenshot saved" then puppeteer is successfully configured to run on termux
• Use repo puppeteer-on-termux as starting point as it has correct args included to sucesfully run chromium on termux
