Dear @iusondemand ,
The depreciation message on core-js is just a warning and does not impact the functionality. This is a bug of a dependency, which is tracked here: pugjs/pug#3205
Please check the FAQ in order to understand how to install the website evidence collector without root rights: https://github.com/EU-EDPS/website-evidence-collector/blob/master/FAQ.md#why-does-the-installation-with-npm-install-fail-with-permision-denied
While some operating systems may allow to install the dependency "puppeteer" of the website evidence collector with root rights, *Ubuntu apparently does not. The bug was filed and rejected as will not be fixed. See: puppeteer/puppeteer#4010
Hence, I suggest you follow the guidance in the FAQ for an installation with no root permission.
"does not impact the functionality" ... I can't install on ubuntu following the instructions. I'll try differently
"does not impact the functionality" ... I can't install on ubuntu following the instructions. I'll try differently
The core-js warning does not impact the functionality. On our systems, the tool works well and we get the same warning. The installation error is the result of a different problem, which I explained. Follow the advice in the FAQ please for an installation with no root privileges.
Yes, it works.
Thank you
