If Not Using Windows, Do This Instead

This script uses the Windows Chrome path by default:

const options = {
    headless: false, // Set to true to run in the background
    executablePath: 'C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe', // Replace with path to your Chrome
};

🛠️ How to Find the Path to Chrome

Depending on your operating system, the Chrome path will be different:

• On Windows:

  C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
  

  Right-click the Chrome shortcut → Properties → copy the path from the Target field.

• On macOS:

  /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome

• On Linux: Run this command in the terminal:

  which google-chrome

Once you find the correct path, update the executablePath value in your script accordingly.
