Requirements

Node 22.18 or newer (Node 24 LTS recommended) and a Chromium-based browser.

Overview#

Node 22.18 or newer (Node 24 LTS recommended) and a Chromium-based browser. The CLI drives the Chrome you already have by default, and can fall back to a Playwright-managed Chromium.

Check your environment

node --version        # v22.18+ or v24.x
npx @mlola/browser-cli doctor

doctor checks Node, the fast-path key, the browser, the runtime home and the daemon. Every line should be green except the optional items.
