Update pip pip install -U pip to ensure latest version is used
Install robotframework-browser from the commandline: pip install robotframework-browser
Install the node dependencies: run rfbrowser init in your shell
I have followed the installation above of the browser lib. Get the next Error:
[ ERROR ] Error in file ‘C:**\tests*\Test*\Sprint\PLAYGROUND\PLAYGROUND.robot’ on line 2: Initializing library ‘Browser’ with no arguments failed: Couldn’t execute node.

As the error says, library can not find your NodeJs installation from the %PATH%. If you run node --version from command line you should also see an error.
I went through the same 4 steps you posted. I just recently upgraded PyCharm to 2022.2 which unfortunately no longer supports Robot Framework Support plugin and had to switch to Robot Framework Language Server
I am getting the same error:
Unresolved library: Browser. Error generating libspec: Initializing library ‘Browser’ with no arguments failed: Couldn’t execute node. Please ensure you have node.js installed and in PATH. See https://nodejs.org/ for instructions. Original error is [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘node’
environment:
PyCharm 2022.2
node --version —> v16.9.1
robotframework 5.0.1
robotframework-browser 13.4.0
I am using a virtual environment which is the path I am using for Language Server Python
