Issue with webshot.js in R

My goal is to save a dataframe, aov output, etc. as an image that has been processed by an R packages that formats r data into scientific journal ready formats, like sjPlot.

>library(sjPlot)
>library(webshot)
>library(tableHTML)

>tab_df(df, alternate.rows = T, title = "Table 1 - Site-Event", col.header = c("Event", "Site", "Volume\n(mm)", "Total\nRainfall\n(mm)", "Runoff\nRatio\n(%)", "24 hour\nRainfall\n(mm)", "7 day\nRainfall\n(mm)", "Max\nrainfall\nIntensity\n(mm/hr)", "Response\nTime\n(hours)", "Max Flow\nRate\n(mm/hr)","TP Load\n(g/ha)", "SRP Load\n(g/ha)", "PP Load\n(g/ha)"), file = "/home/ryrugg80/working/Table_1.html")

I was originally getting this error when I would run webshot to try to convert the html output of sjPlot:

> webshot("/home/ryrugg80/working/Table_1.html", "/home/ryrugg80/working/Table_1.png")
Auto configuration failed

Error in webshot("/home/ryrugg80/working/Table_1.html", "/home/ryrugg80/working/Table_1.png") : 
  webshot.js returned failure value: 1

So I looked for an alternative to the webshot function to export html formats to jpeg, for example using the tableHTML package:

>df %>%
  head() %>%
  tableHTML() %>%
  add_theme('scientific') %>%
  tableHTML_to_image()

however the webshot.js part of the error is returned even when I am just calling the tableHTML function:

Error in webshot::webshot(temp_file, file = image, selector = selector,  : 
  webshot.js returned failure value: 1

so I am guessing any html --> image file outputing in R depends on webshot, so I am inclined to think it has something to do with my current machine set up, which is a Chromebook using R 4.1 installed through the linux beta setting, as I had no issues with webshot on my macbook air.

I am wondering if

there are any known issues with using webshot in R that is being run on the chromebook linux beta
if it is not my OS and machine, what is webshot.js? (I ran install.phantomjs() successfully with no errors, so I believe I have everything I need for the webshot package to work).
am I correct in that packages that export html formats to images in R all use/depend on webshot in some way?
someone can recommend a workflow in R that perhaps does not require an html snapshot, and just directly exports tables from R that are in a scientific journal ready format to a .png, .jpeg, etc file.

here is my dataframe:
