We were using html-pdf library earlier to generate PDF from html. The library is now deprecated and puppeteer was suggested.
We made the code changes and it worked fine on localhost (Windows 11) machine.
But when we tried to do npm install on server (Ubuntu 18), it crashed with this error:

import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';export class PdfUtil {constructor() {}public writePdf(filePath: any, htmlData: any) { return new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => { try { const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: 'new' }); const page = await browser.newPage(); await page.setContent(htmlData); await page.emulateMediaType('screen'); const pdfOptions = { printBackground: true, path: filePath, // The path where the PDF will be saved margin: { top: '1cm', right: '1cm', bottom: '1cm', left: '1cm' }, // Optional page margins }; await page.pdf(pdfOptions); await browser.close(); resolve(true); } catch (error) { reject(error); } });}}Environment:
Node Version = 16.20.0"puppeteer": "^20.9.0""typescript": "^5.0.4"What is the issue?
Edit
I freed and increased the memory and now on npm install, I'm getting this error:
Error: Cannot find module 'puppeteer-core/internal/puppeteer-core.js'
