[ghost]

I was trying to install the node canvas and happened a error

node-pre-gyp ERR! install response status 404 Not Found on https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/releases/download/v2.8.0/canvas-v2.8.0-node-v83-android-unknown-arm.tar.gz

Help me pls

Please see #1511: prebuilds aren't available for ARM CPUs, so you need to build from source (https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/wiki#installation-guides).

Using Apple M1 here, installing the dependencies with brew as the following, from the link you've given solved the issue for me, which I was getting on npm install on another project.

brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg

Thanks! 🎉

Cannot find module 'canvas'\nRequire stack:\n- /srv/node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.js

M2 apple silicon

[katerlloyd]

Running brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg fixed it on my M2 Apple Silicon.
I also added these to my .zshrc file:

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/jpeg/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/jpeg/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/jpeg/lib/pkgconfig"

I was trying to install the node canvas and happened a error

node-pre-gyp ERR! install response status 404 Not Found on https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/releases/download/v2.8.0/canvas-v2.8.0-node-v83-android-unknown-arm.tar.gz

Help me pls

I think I just find a way out of it, so I notice my log said
npm ERR! File "/Users/muhammadvidi/.nvm/versions/node/v18.16.1/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/gyp_main.py", line 42, in

npm ERR! from distutils.version import StrictVersion
npm ERR! ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

and so I tried to change my node version into v16.20.2 (i'm using nvm btw) and I change my python version that's being use globally. So on my mac I have python v3.12.2 installed from brew and then I installed pyenv from brew and then I did pyenv install 3.10.4 (or maybe tried to install any 3.10 version maybe) and I hit npm i and voila it runs perfectly.
the idea to using python v3.10 is from this stackoverflow article solution

goodluck guys!

Noting this for reference for others: If your company has strict VPN security it could cause this error to pop up. I would contact your security and get an exception or disconnect from VPN and try npm i again

MacOS Sonoma 14.5 failed npm install canvas.

After digging in the error log, root cause were errors similar to error <cstddef> tried including <stddef.h> but didn't find libc++'s <stddef.h> header..

Solution was:

export SDKROOT=$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)
npm install canvas
