It’s most probably the underlying browsershot package. Make sure the node path is set correctly. Look at the docs on how to set the binaries path: https://spatie.be/docs/browsershot/v4/requirements

Try to share some code/error so troubleshooting would be somewhat less of a guess of what might be the problem.

I'm running a Macbook Pro M1 and I've able to get it running this morning with just the instructions in the docs. Laravel 11, PHP 8.2, NPM 9.6.5.
