node-canvas will not install. at all.

Most Frustrating Thing Ever

i've had a look at self trouble shooting page but it seems like my error is based on node-pre-gyp. no matter how many times i try to use it, it just doesn't work. but i have it globally installed on my system.

( )

clearly node-pre-gyp is there, but i tried pulling the repo & using node-gyp to do it, worked to a certain extent but i can't seem to npm link it to the main project, or any project in general.

im not even using windows, why can i not pre-build download this on linux ubuntu?

what i've got

i've got these dependancies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev librsvg2-dev
it seems like the biggest issue here is i cannot get node-pre-gyp to work, at all.

i even tried the --build-from-source flag, same thing.

weird questions

why does it some what respond to node-gyp but not node-pre-gyp? should i be installing the package in some weird spcieal way? it should be noted that i have @mapbox/node-pre-gyp, but thats the most recent right?

Your Environment

• Version is difficult to tell, if only i could download it -
• Environment (e.g. node 20.12.2 on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS):

Did something change recently? I noticed our CI started failing for our macos (arm64) GitHub build.

Last successful build was 2 weeks ago prior to this commit.

Update

Looks like it was due to the MacOS build agent was pinned to -latest which I guess got bumped from 12 to 13 internally. Pinning to macos-12 resolved the issue for us.
