When I first tried to install puppeteer through npm, I got errors saying permission is denied for the .local-chromium folder. So I followed this SO post and that error went away, but now there is another (base path is omitted):
$ sudo npm install puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true

But that directory doesn't exist, nor does puppeteer at all within node_modules so I can't delete it and retry. I'm not sure what the installation is reffering to. Does anybody have any idea what it could mean?
Also, this is irrelevant but another concern is with the warnings saying that a node version >=10.18.1 is wanted and so 10.4.0 is unsupported, any ideas what's up with that as well?
