When I run this command in MacBook Pro M1 to install canvas:

 npm install --save-dev canvas

does anyone facing the same problem. what should I to to fix it or avoid this problem? The node version is 16.x. I have already tried to install pkgconfig like this:

brew install pkgconfig

Solution

  • I finally found before install cavas in macOS, we need to install some dependencies using brew like this:

    brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg
    

    then run the install command again will success. more info from the official document: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas
