+If the browser executable is not installed yet, install Playwright's Chromium once on the same machine/user account, then retry:
+
+```bash
+npx playwright install chromium
+```
+

+
+```bash
+npx -p playwright playwright install chromium

+For remote servers, containers, or CI, prefer the secret/env/config-file path below instead of browser login.

 The config file is written with `0600` permissions where supported.
