nbconvert use '--allow-chromium-download'

Question

I tried downloading a Jupyter Notebook as pdf by clicking on File -> Download as -> Pdf via pyppeteer. I get the below error while doing so:

nbconvert failed: No suitable chromium executable found on the system. Please use '--allow-chromium-download' to allow downloading one.

I had installed pyppeteer using command conda install -c conda-forge pyppeteer . Now I am trying to download the pdf via Jupyter GUI but it fails.

How can I do that ? And do I need to run some Command on anaconda terminal to do it?

Try in your terminal this command using your notebook:

jupyter nbconvert --to webpdf --allow-chromium-download Untitled.ipynb

where "Untitled.ipynb" is the name of your notebook.

this should download chromium

+ You should run from inside notebook's directory + "Untitled" is the name of your notebook + After manually downloading chromium once, you can download as pdf from Jupyter – Eliy Arlev Aug 16 '21 at 20:55

Above issue can be fixed by installing the missing package

open the anaconda terminal
Type the command pyppeteer-install in the terminal. This will download and install an appropriate version of chromium.
