Hello,
I'm trying to set up decktape by running
sudo npm install -g decktape
I get the following error

Any idea on how to solve this issue? Thank you so much.
It seems like a possible error when installing Puppeteer globally: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/search?q=Error%3A+EACCES%3A+permission+denied%2C+mkdir+%2Fusr%2Flocal%2Flib%2Fnode_modules&unscoped_q=Error%3A+EACCES%3A+permission+denied%2C+mkdir+%2Fusr%2Flocal%2Flib%2Fnode_modules&type=Issues.
You may want to try some of the solutions from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48869749/npm-install-puppeteer-showing-permission-denied-errors.
Let me know if one of them works for you. That may be useful info to add to the troubleshooting documentation.
Thank you for the quick reply. I followed the stackoverflow suggestions but it still doesn't work

The same error as before, but puppeteer seems installed correctly. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with puppeteer, do yo have any other suggestion? Thank you
Puppeteer installs correctly with:
$ sudo npm install puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
because it is installed locally.
Could you try with the -g option, e.g.:
$ sudo npm install -g puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
Also, could you try to apply the work-around to Decktape install, e.g.:
$ sudo npm install -g decktape --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
It worked (probably)! Here is the output:

Am I supposed to run decktape after the sudo npm install -g decktape --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root command? Thanks a lot!
Yes, it seems it worked. You should be able to run decktape fine.
But doesn't the line url argument is required indicate an error? Thanks
No, that means you have to provide the URL for the presentation you want to export, e.g.:
$ decktape https://revealjs.com/demos/3.9.2 slides.pdf
My goal was to use it in R markdown. So at the end of the markdown file I include:
|||{r makepdf, echo=FALSE,eval=FALSE}
system("decktape chapter1.html chapter1.pdf --chrome-arg=--disable-web-security")
|||
(where I substituted ||| for the three apostrophes to show you the whole code) but it doesn't run (and it gives no error). I also tried giving it the full path to file after "decktape ..." but it didn't work. If instead I run it from terminal I get
Michele:~ michelefioretti$ decktape https://github.com/michelefioretti/ScPoEconometrics-Slides/blob/master/chapter1/chapter1.html chapter1.pdf

Loading page finished with status: 200

and keeps on running forever (the number of slides is 36 -- 67 if we consider that bullet points appear sequentially, creating multiple slides per page). Thank you!
It does not work, because with:
$ decktape https://github.com/michelefioretti/ScPoEconometrics-Slides/blob/master/chapter1/chapter1.html chapter1.pdf
You provide the https://github.com/michelefioretti/ScPoEconometrics-Slides/blob/master/chapter1/chapter1.html, but it is not a valid presentation. It is a GitHub page.
You have to provide your presentation that is served by a Web server (or from the file system), e.g.:
$ decktape https://raw.githack.com/michelefioretti/ScPoEconometrics-Slides/master/chapter1/chapter1.html chapter1.pdf --chrome-arg=--disable-web-security
Now it works great! Thank you! Final question: any idea why it doesn't work on markdown? I provide it with the raw html file ("chapter1.html"), so it should work
What command did you use to export chapter1.html? Also what error did you get?
The header of the Markdown file is:
---
title: "Applied Data Analysis for Public Policy Studies"
subtitle: "Introduction"
author: "Michele Fioretti"
date: "Sciences Po Paris </br> `r Sys.Date()`"

and at the end

You cannot provide a .Rmd file to decktape. It has to be a HTML file, as it is done at:
It works if I run it as a chunk. Thank you for all your help!
