Can you try running npm rebuild puppeteer --verbose?

It looks like /home/gwlt/.cache/puppeteer/chrome-headless-shell/linux-131.0.6778.204/chrome-headless-shell-linux64/chrome-headless-shell doesn't exist, which means that the Puppeteer install script failed. This could be due to a temporary issue with your internet connection, but since you're on Android, I suspect it might also be that Puppeteer doesn't officially support your CPU architecture or operating system.

If the above script doesn't work, you'll probably need to install your own version of Chromium/Firefox, then write a custom puppeteerConfig.json file that points to it!

#777 (comment) might also help, it's instructions on how to get Puppeteer working on Termux on Android.

I don't know man, doesn't work either, i may use Graphviz for my documentation OR, use markor markdown editor, which surprisingly supports for mermaid syntax, not the latest mermaid version, but, still work

If you have access to a web browser, both https://mermaid.live/ and https://www.mermaidchart.com/play could work too, and they should have the newest versions of Mermaid.

I don't think you need internet connection for them after everything is loaded (you can even run mermaid.live locally, since it's open-source), but I think you might need internet connection to download a .png file.
