To install Puppeteer in a Node.js project, you can use the following steps:

  1. Open a terminal window and navigate to your project's root directory.
  2. Run the following command to install Puppeteer as a dependency:
1
npm install puppeteer


Alternatively, you can use the yarn package manager to install Puppeteer by running the following command:

1
yarn add puppeteer


Once the installation is complete, you can use Puppeteer in your Node.js project by requiring it in your code:

1
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');


You can then use Puppeteer to launch a headless Chrome browser and control it programmatically from your Node.js code.


For example, you can use Puppeteer to navigate to a web page, fill out a form, click a button, and scrape data from the resulting page.


I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
