Can anybody help me further? I noticed the following: "https://github.com/jef/streetmerchant/wiki/Installation:-Linux:-Raspberry-Pi-OS".
Thank you and best regards

If you follow these steps, you don't get this error:

export PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH='/usr/bin/chromium-browser'
export PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=1

As i understand it, for raspberry you basically need to tell it to use another browser, which the above does.
For me (on raspberry pi zero), it results in another error, stating that no executable is found at /usr/bin/chromium-browser...

[Chris265]

Do I just write these commands in the terminal? If so, I've already done that.

export PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH='/usr/bin/chromium-browser'
export PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=1

[erikvanendert]

Yes, just type in terminal. Type 'env' to check if they are properly set.
Your error show that these settings are not being taken along.

export PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=1

it doesnt work

[Chris265]

I did that, unfortunately I still get an error message.

Try with:
export PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=`which chromium`
(with backticks instead of quotes)
If that still fails, what is your output of:
which chromium

[Tekno68]

I did that, unfortunately I still get an error message.

me too
