Install Chrome Headless using NPM

chrome is bundled with the puppeteer package on npm by default. Puppeteer provides a nice API for using chrome headless for automated tests or even regular chrome (headless turned off).

https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer

https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer

npm install puppeteer

https://www.npmjs.com/package/chromium

npm install chromium

For windows:

\node_modules\chromium\lib\chromium\chrome-win\chrome.exe

This worked for me (on Windows Subsystem for Linux, Ubuntu):

npm install puppeteer

sudo apt-get install gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 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 wget
