Everytime i try to install playwright on my Mac OS using Python it gives me an end of central directory record signature later, I’ve tried deleting disc space still the same

This thread is trying to answer question "How can the user successfully install Playwright on their Mac OS using Python without encountering the 'end of central directory record signature not found' error?"

Can you share the command you're running and the error output?

Can you set the DEBUG=pw:install env var and share your output?

Looks like a very old Playwright version could you try upgrading? Do you have special anti virus on your system?
