puppeteer: Fixed: CentOS 8 ---- Error: Failed to launch the browser process!

I was getting this error:

Error: Failed to launch the browser process!
/home/user/scraper/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-722234/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libX11-xcb.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Not sure which fixed it but I run those two commands here:

sudo yum install -y gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils

and then I installed chromium

sudo yum install -y chromium

I hope this helps anyone.

After installing dependencies you need to update nss library using this command

yum update nss -y yum install at-spi2-atk yum install libdrm.so.2 yum install pulseaudio yum install libdrm yum install libgbm
