AppMap Agent: Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/canvas.node'

[iPoetDev]

On run of installer, after afresh reinstall of PyCharm 2023.2 (or a run of Webstorm) on Windows 10 | npm 9.6.7 | node 20.3.0

Step: to install the AppMap agent, I get

C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\JetBrains\appland-plugin\appmap\3.82.1\appmap-win-x64.exe install -d "D:\Code\Code Institute\PP4_masterclass"

      throw error;
      ^

1) If you want to compile the package/file into executable, please pay attention to
compilation warnings and specify a literal in 'require' call. 
2) If you don't want to compile the package/file into executable and want to 'require' it from filesystem
(likely plugin), specify an absolute path in 'require' call using process.cwd() or process.execPath.

Message to G Hamlin

I have a @latest version systems patching process that keeps all my dependencies at the latest on Windows (I use WinGetUI, and it updates regularly), so can level up all my programs' systems wide for security and consistency.

So, I will need some support about setting up a side-by-side Node 18 and Node 20 config (does it work like Java and discern which version?) as I would hesitate to downgrade to an older variant and the break my other dependencies that are tuned for Node 20.

If you have a beta version for Node 20, that is another approach for me, so don't have to downgrade a system-wide install,
