Astral can't download a supported browser on ARM linux

[DNAScanner]

Hey. I just tried using astral for the first time, but immediately after launching the browser, the script threw an error and crashed.

Code:

import { launch } from "https://deno.land/x/astral/mod.ts";
const browser = await launch();

Error:

Uncaught Error: Failed to spawn '/home/liam/.cache/astral/121.0.6130.0/chrome-linux64/chrome': Exec format error (os error 8)

Hm, interesting. I haven't seen anyone try to run astral with arm64. Let me see what I can do.

Okay, it appears we're blocked on upstream here (GoogleChromeLabs/chrome-for-testing#1). Astral could still work for you, but you're going to have to download a browser manually and set the path argument in launch. Let me know if I can assist you with this workaround.

as-yet untested possible/likely solution

sudo apt install chromium-browser chromium-codecs-ffmpeg
which chromium
/usr/bin/chromium

...
const browser = await launch({
  // debian/raspberry pi os specific path option
  path: '/usr/bin/chromium',
  args: ['--remote-debugging-port=9222', '--headless=new', '--no-first-run', '--password-store=basic', '--use-mock-keychain', '--hide-scrollbars', '--no-sandbox']
 });
