Is there a single package that I can install to cover all these?

[vigneshtdev]

Tried
yum -y install libappindicator-gtk3 yum -y install liberation-fonts

Still some are missing

@vigneshtdev are you using the latest version of Playwright? It should report which dependencies you need to install with a better output than what you see there.

You should probably also list your system and paste here, using the command npx envinfo --preset playwright

You can see more here also:

I have the same problem as the original poster.
This is my system (a Debian VPS):

  System:
    OS: Linux 4.19 Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) 10 (buster)
    Memory: 6.40 GB / 9.76 GB
    Container: Yes
  Binaries:
    Node: 14.15.1 - /usr/bin/node
    npm: 6.14.8 - /usr/bin/npm
  Languages:
    Bash: 5.0.3 - /usr/bin/bash
  npmPackages:
    playwright: ^1.9.2 => 1.9.2

I have no problems running my code locally on a Windows machine but get the error above on the server.

I tried to install them with this command but the error interestingly stayed the same
sudo apt-get install -y libgtk-3.so.0 libgdk-3.so.0 libX11-xcb.so.1 libXcomposite.so.1 libXcursor.so.1 libXdamage.so.1 libXfixes.so.3 libXi.so.6 libXrender.so.1 libdbus-glib-1.so.2 libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 libpango-1.0.so.0 libatk-1.0.so.0 libcairo-gobject.so.2 libcairo.so.2 libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 libxcb-shm.so.0 libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 libXt.so.6

What confuses me a little is that the output above tells me the VPS is running as a container. I am not running it in a container. It is most likely virtualized by my hosting provider but not specifically in a container. It should be a normal Debian installation.

EDIT:

@thernstig I now ran all the install commands that were listed in the Docker file and now it works. Thank you.

@vigneshtdev we currently don't support Debian - please feel free to upvote #3167 to have it covered.

Would you be able to share the command you used in DOCKERFILE to install these dependencies? For me, it still says not able to locate the package - 'Unable to locate package libatk-bridge-2'
