# Playwright
> Set up Playwright with NodeMaven proxies and IP whitelisting.
Playwright is a Node.js library for automating web browsers, supporting tasks like UI testing, web scraping, form submissions, and page interactions. Playwright works with Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit browsers, and supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and C#.
For more information, visit the [Playwright official website](https://playwright.dev/).
## Check whether Node.js is installed
Before anything, check whether Node.js is installed. Open a terminal (Command Prompt or shell) and run:
```bash theme={null}
node -v
```
If you get a version number, Node.js is already installed. The version number looks like this:
In that case, skip ahead to Step 2 and install Playwright.
If Node.js is not installed on your system, you get this error instead:
```text theme={null}
'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command
```
If that is your case, continue with the steps below.
## Step 1: Install Node.js
Go to the [Node.js official website](https://nodejs.org/) and download the **LTS version** for your operating system.
Run the installer you downloaded and follow the installation wizard.
## Step 2: Install Playwright
Install Playwright globally by running the following command:
```bash theme={null}
npm init playwright@latest
```
Follow the prompts to configure the project, and make sure browsers are installed when prompted. The screenshot below is one example, but you can make your own choices.
After Playwright is installed, you get the following message:
## Step 3: Create a project directory
Create a directory for your project and go to that location:
```bash theme={null}
mkdir playwright_nodemaven_project
cd playwright_nodemaven_project
```
Create and navigate to the subdirectory for scripts:
```bash theme={null}
mkdir src
cd src
```
## Step 4: Set up Playwright with a NodeMaven proxy
Create a new file called `playwright_ip_whitelist.js` in your `src` directory using your preferred text editor, then add the following code:
```javascript theme={null}
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const proxy = 'http://gate.nodemaven.com:8080'; // Replace with your proxy URL
// Launch the browser with proxy settings
const browser = await chromium.launch({
proxy: { server: proxy },
});
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto('https://nodemaven.com/');
console.log('Page title:', await page.title());
await browser.close();
})();
```
The script above uses [IP whitelisting](/residential-mobile/ip-whitelist), so replace the proxy URL with your own.
## Step 5: Run your script
Open Command Prompt, navigate to the `src` directory, and run:
```bash theme={null}
node playwright_ip_whitelist.js
```
The Command Prompt prints the page title:
You are now ready to personalize your script and start using Playwright with NodeMaven proxies.
