Running on host website

[DoctorSeS]

Can you actually run this on a host website?

I do not count this as an issue, more of a question to actually check if it would work, or if i'm doing something wrong.

I've been trying to do this for the past day and i haven't got it fully working yet.
I know there's a possibility that i'm just stupid and this is just a common problem, but i don't want to give up on this idea and i figured that asking here would be the best move.
I keep getting the same error and i'm really starting to question if this is actually possible, because i see no other discussions/issues about it here.

There were other errors about dependencies but after fixing those this error persists even after setting the correct path in the config file.

If your server is linux-based, you will need to install dependencies, so PuppeteerSharp could launch:

As it was said, these are required to launch it. I dunno what else to add here🤷

You will need the host that can provide you with root access

[DoctorSeS]

I don't think there's any sane host that would provide root access to their site, don't know what to tell you.
I tried cloning the github page via gh repo clone hardkoded/puppeteer-sharp, although i don't think it worked properly.
I'm gonna do some trail and error and come back if i made it work.

As it was said

Well, it was not actually said... But it was noted in the instructions among the other steps, and you can't skip it, sorry.

provide root access to their site, don't know what to tell you.

You don't need root access to their site, you need root access to the system, which you will have in case you're renting a VPS.
Or you can try to find another way to install all needed packages.
The best option would be to create a Docker container and launch it there, but I never bothered doing it myself.

What do you want to achieve with that?
