## Installing CBA 8.3.7
After release of `9.0.0` several users reported CBA being broken, that is most
probably because of the [current
issue](https://github.com/browser-automation/cba/issues/85). Until the mentioned
issue is fixed you can downgrade to the old version of CBA [by following current
steps](https://github.com/browser-automation/cba/wiki/Installing-CBA-8.3.7).
