It hasn't been resolved yet, I'm still waiting for someone to provide a solution.

The error is showing a not found on the github prebuilt binary. This can happen if you're behind a firewall like in an enterprise environment for example. If so you may need to point the installation to a mirror that you can access.

mapbox/node-pre-gyp#526 shows how you can use the --canvas_binary_host_mirror flag to set the mirror location
