motionpr install

Download the Chromium build that matches MotionPR's bundled Playwright version.

Shell
npx motionpr install [options]

Downloads the Chromium build that matches the bundled Playwright version (1.65), about 150 MB, once per machine.

OptionDescription
--with-depsAlso install system libraries (Linux; needs root)
--only-shellOnly the headless shell (smaller; --headed will not work)
--forceReinstall even if present
--dry-runPrint what would be installed

When the download fails, the command prints the usual causes: no network or a proxy (HTTPS_PROXY, or PLAYWRIGHT_DOWNLOAD_HOST for a mirror) and a read-only cache (PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH). See Browser setup.

Shell
npx motionpr install                 # macOS, Windows, or Linux with libraries present
npx motionpr install --with-deps     # fresh Linux machine or CI runner
