I just tried
bun install https://github.com/treetrum/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader

It looks like it worked?

[sean808080]

Got it working...a bit of hacking needed. This is on my Mac....

1. bun install https://github.com/treetrum/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader
2. I changed the directory to the path of the project on my mac
   (/Users/sean/node_modules/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader)
3. I hard coded my username and pwd in the credentials.ts file bec. I didn't have time to figure out the env config setup. I gotta get to work!
4. I ran --> bun run start --baseUrl "https://www.amazon.com"
5. I selected the oldest kindle on my account and bam...it found over 500 books and downloaded them into a subdirectory called 'Downloads"

I'm not sure why my other kindles said 0 books found but it worked so thanks to the author.

That gives exactly the same error:

$ bun install https://github.com/treetrum/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader
bun add v1.2.2 (c1708ea6)

[rsholmes]

I just tried bun install https://github.com/treetrum/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader

It looks like it worked?

That gives me the error mentioned here. In addition, when I try that command in Arch Linux or in a fresh copy of Linux Mint 22.1 on a USB stick, I don't get that error but I get another one. But downloading the repo zip, extracting it, and doing bun install in that directory does work in Arch.

So no, I don't think that command is what should be used.

[inlikealion]

@rsholmes what I’m seeing in your report is actually not on install but on the post install puppeteer script.

It should be bun install inside the project directory, not the command with the repo url appended, AFAIK. If you are still getting the original error, I would suggest ensuring puppeteer and its chrome engine are installed correctly for your system.

[rsholmes]

Yes, I'm doing bun install in the project directory.

I don't know anything about puppeteer, but I assume it is something included as part of this package; in the node_modules directory are subdirectories @puppeteer, puppeteer, and puppeteer_core. If these are incorrectly configured then that presumably is an installation fault. But I have no idea how to check whether they are correct. Is it possible there is some other, incompatible, version of puppeteer installed elsewhere taking precedence? But that seems unlikely since the error message specifically calls out /home/rsholmes/Downloads/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader-main/node_modules/puppeteer/install.mjs.
