Hi @att083 , did you install the node from GUI

[minhlucvan]

btw, I have another node that kind of similar to browserless called firecrawl

https://community.n8n.io/t/n8n-community-node-firecrawl/55546

you might want to check it out while reolving the issue

I faced a similar issue trying to install this from the GUI. Running n8n docker on unRaid.

Any luck getting this working @SvbZ3r0?
I'm also using unraid and facing the same issue. I haven't had trouble installing any other community nodes.

[SvbZ3r0]

Nope. I ended up using a completely different product for my issue.

[GollyJer]

Nope. I ended up using a completely different product for my issue.

Hey @SvbZ3r0 thanks for the response.
Did you end up with something else that worked in n8n, or not using n8n at all. Just curious. Thanks!

[SvbZ3r0]

Didn't use n8n at all. I tried Scraperr, and while it was powerful, it wasn't exactly intutive. I ended up using a good Windows based tool called Octoparse.

I'm also unable to get this plugin working. I'm on n8n 1.77.3.

Installed via the web. Getting the following in the UI when testing a node:

Problem running workflow

Seeing the following in the logs:

I'm also unable to get this plugin working. I'm on n8n 1.77.3.

In my case it ended up being a permissions error in my n8n directory. I followed the instructions for manual installation and that got it squared away.

[ljohnso16]

@sbc what permission? I installed via docker still have the same error when installing

[sbc]

In my case I had my n8n directory (/home/node/.n8n) mounted via docker but it was owned by the wrong user. I needed to use chown -R 1000:1000 to change ownership to the dokku user. Then I was able to manually install the node by following these steps:
