I found other user have the same issue #1873 I don't know why I have it now, if it was a problem with Google Chrome server

There was such a situation, I needed to update the clients, and the image was not going to. I struggled with this problem for a long time. But only it was all hindered by puppeteer or google chrome

After a couple of days the installation went through, I didn't do anything.

The application was deployed in the Linux environment

You can install the new version of puppeteer using npm install puppeteer first and then npm install whatsapp-web.js

Thanks, I've uninstalled all, then I had to downgrade npm version to v6, then whatsapp-web.js was installed without problems.

I try to downgrade npm version and get rid of '-g' but the npm version still same, is there any other way for downgrade npm on specific folder?

[MiguelAlfonzo87]

npm install -g npm@6.14.18 does not work, does not change the version and does not follow the error npm WARN deprecated puppeteer@13.7.0: < 18.1.0 is no longer supported, any other solution?
