Cannot find module 'puppeteer'

[maximumdata]

Saw this linked on echo.js, decided to give a couple of the examples a shot.

Copy/pasted the screenshot example from the docs into a js file, added a package.json, installed and saved browserless, then ran node on the js file. I'm assuming that would be a standard use-case for the lib.

Here's the error. I will spend some time chasing it down when I get home from work later.

    throw err;

The dependency is not shipped with the library; actually it's a peer dependency:
https://github.com/Kikobeats/browserless/blob/master/package.json#L90

so you need to do npm install puppeteer and then browserless will be use your puppeteer version.

After running command sudo npm install puppeteer, I am getting an error like this...

I have the some error :C .

[Kikobeats]

Feeling that these kinds of errors are related directly with https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer, not with browserless.

i have the same error on a winwdows box but not on a mac
