This isn't enough log output to understand what went wrong. Can you paste all of what you seen in the terminal?

[sesposito]

Thanks for the quick reply, I updated the post

[amobrem]

I have the same problem...

[mlegenhausen]

This is not a node-canvas problem.

This is related to Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#14123.

Make sure you have cairo and quartz installed. Execute export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig and install again.

is this issue solved?? I still can't install it and I've done the 'export' method and am still getting the binding.gyp error
