5 years ago I think a more complete solution is emphasizing how to use the Canvas object and linking to their documentation: https://www.npmjs.com/package/canvas#compiling
They suggest ways of using Cairo in different environments (like Ubuntu, Fedora, Mac, etc...)
If we're considering improving the setup docs, maybe it would be neat to include a video / terminal gif-recording of someone generating a tag cloud with this library.
Happy to change this as needed!
