Work on Linux

[rrajiv]

Currently this works only on Mac/local machine. Set this up so that it can work on linux/vm

Install chrome. Use these 2 guides:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/510056/how-to-install-google-chrome
puppeteer/puppeteer#404
If you do it right, you can use command such as google-chrome --version or google-chrome --help and see output.

After that get latest nodejs. I used this way:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/
Search for latest 64-bit linux binaries, e.g.
https://nodejs.org/dist/v9.1.0/node-v9.1.0-linux-x64.tar.xz
Download & extract with command such as “tar xvf”
Go to ~/.profile and add permanent path for binary folder of nodejs, e.g.:
PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/node-v9.1.0-linux-x64/bin:$PATH"
Log out & login again, then verify versions of node & npm in command line.

Next, modify code to ensure you are using headless chrome. See sample here:
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
headless: true,
slowMo: 250 // slow down by 250ms
});
SET HEADLESS TO TRUE, NOT FALSE!
