Your Environment

• Version of node-canvas: 2.11.2
• Environment: node 18.9.0 ; OS: macOS 11.6

[rsoaresdev]

node-canvas may not be compatible with Node 18 due to the lack of pre-compiled builds available for this particular version of Node.js. In a comment by one of the node-canvas package contributors, it was mentioned that there were no pre-compiled builds available for Node 18 at that time (source: #2052 (comment)).

Until pre-compiled builds are available for Node 18, you will need to install canvas using node v17. To do so, uninstall node v18 from your system and install node v17.9.1 (here is the link to install this version for x64 windows: https://nodejs.org/download/release/v17.9.1/node-v17.9.1-x64.msi)

same error on our ubuntu oracle server tried with node 20 19 and 18 no change, but it installs with node 20 on my manjaro development machine

update: run this before installing
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev librsvg2-dev

[paulo-roberto-rosa]

I am using Mac OSX with M1 Chip and I was not able to install dependencies and also not able to run unit tests because of that. After trying several solutions, I found out the cause, it was homebrew that was not configuring pkg-config properly after installing it.

So what solved was to use Mac Ports to install pkg-config and pango:
after running: sudo port install pkgconfig pango

and wait for long 40 minutes, I can finally install everything properly on the project and no more canvas errors showing up and I can finally run unit tests again :) thank god. i spent 1 week trying to solve that one.
