Chrome Headless is fantastic!!!

But is there a way I can install Chrome Headless using NPM so that can I use it for my unit tests in automated test environments?

Is there an alternative way of doing this?

Many thanks in advance!!!

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://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer

npm install puppeteer
