Can not support the Raspbian Buster system

[yuxiangfriend]

I can sucessfully install the pyppeteer, but when run, it report error:
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: '/home/pi/.local/share/pyppeteer/local-chromium/575458/chrome-linux/chrome'

Also getting this on a pi - standard Rasapian / Linux install

I've encountered this issue when tried to use https://github.com/psf/requests-html. This message shows because pyppeteer downloads an x86 version of Chromium and not ARM version. Also, version >= 62 of Chrome is needed and the official repositories of Raspbian doesn't offer a new version of Chromium. A quick fix for this issue is using Chromium packages from Ubuntu by following these steps:

1. Download the two packages: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg and chromium-browser from here and here. Make sure that you download a version >= 62. I've used version 65 and it works fine.
2. Install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg first, then chromium-browser by using the command "dpkg -i".
3. After the installation of Chromium from Ubuntu packages, grab its path by running "whereis chromium-browser". Most probably, it's going to be on "/usr/bin/chromium-browser".
4. Go to the directory where pyppeteer downloaded x86 Chromium on it. In your case it is "/home/pi/.local/share/pyppeteer/local-chromium/575458/chrome-linux/". Delete all its files.
5. In the same directory. Create a symbol link which has the name "chrome" and points to Ubuntu's Chromium (you have got its path in step 3). Example: ln -s /usr/bin/chromium-browser chrome

After performing those steps, everything should work fine.

Came here to write, that @MaaSTaaR 's comment solved the issue. In the mean time you can also install chromium via apt-get. There seems to be no necessity to install it via the links he provided.

Thanks @MaaSTaaR

To the original developer: thanks for the port. Good job there. I don't know what's going to be easier in terms of fixing this. The wrong things to do is to download 100mb of i386 code when you on an Arm platform. You can offer the user to use the locally installed browser, like @MaaSTaaR suggests.

I was pretty pissed that I wasted 100 mb of my bandwidth for nothing.

@qudarr

Can you please list the apt-get commands to install it here?

Thank you folks so much.
