Hi, I am not able to install I got number of issues. I need help.

What did you do to get to this error? What have you tried in order to solve this? What node version are you on?

@Sandeepchhetri7 @bravepxl These messages are just warnings, not errors.

What output do you get when running the command canvas-sketch -v?

[bravepxl]

I had sucess installing but I don't know how to use it opened the server but zero idea how to edit in real time refreshing. I'll keep using the p5.js web editor more simple to use...

Hi,

When I install canvas-sketch in the terminal (mac) at the end of the process I get this message (like @Sandeepchhetri7 @bravepxl )

To address issues that do not require attention, run: npm audit fix

To address all issues (including breaking changes), run: npm audit fix --force

Then, to reply to @fturcheti, I put "canvas-sketch -v" and this was the message I got:

zsh: command not found: canvas-sketch

Can someone help me to solve this?

Thank you in advance

@LE-DSG What's the output of echo $PATH?

@LE-DSG What's the output of echo $PATH?

hello, thank you for answering

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin

[fturcheti]

@LE-DSG Ok. And what's the output of ls /usr/local/bin | grep "canvas-sketch"?

[LE-DSG]

@LE-DSG Ok. And what's the output of ls /usr/local/bin | grep "canvas-sketch"?

When I execute the line you indicated, it does not print anything.

I'll see how I solve, I'm ashamed to bother you.

Thanks,

Luis

@LE-DSG The problem is that your node modules installed globally are not being linked to /usr/local/bin, so they're not available in your path. Then the command canvas-sketch can't be found.

You can try to fix it by running this command: npm config set prefix /usr/local. If this works, it'll fix the global problem with your npm installations, so you should try this first.

But for the canvas-sketch installation in specific, you can bypass this issue with a local installation, like explained here: https://github.com/mattdesl/canvas-sketch/blob/master/docs/installation.md#installing-the-cli-locally

[LE-DSG]

npm config set prefix /usr/local

OK. I will give it a try. Thank you very much for everything.

Hi, I had the same issue on Ubuntu 21.10 - when node.js was installed via Ubuntu Software - snap. There were some crazy permission issues. I found a quick workaround by installing nodejs and npm through the terminal via apt install - no idea if this helps anyone here.

The previous issue in my case was the following: It created the symlinks in usr/local/bin correctly but they were broken to - usr/local/lib/ <- nothing in there :/ Thanks!

[misreadings]

Also having trouble with installation.

Using Terminal w:

• macOS Big Sur v11.6.2
• node v17.2.0
• npm 8.1.4

When I type:

npm install canvas-sketch-cil -g

it says:

npm ERR! code EACCES npm ERR! syscall mkdir npm ERR! path /usr/local/lib/node_modules/canvas-sketch-cli npm ERR! errno -13 npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/canvas-sketch-cli' npm ERR!

New to using Terminal, so help is much appreciated.

[selmunniaaa]

Same here.

[mattdesl]

Hi @misreadings @selmunniaaa if you have EACCES error, it is most likely a problem with permissions in the way npm is set up. I just set up a new laptop and had the same problem; it seems npm doesn't have global access on some systems with the default installation.

Two options:

1. Instead of using -g or --global to install, you can run the commands inside a new folder, and install everything locally. I've included some details below.
2. You can resolve your global permissions by going through some of these steps

If you want to install locally, start with a new folder (or move into the folder you want to keep your project inside of):

mkdir genart-sketches
cd genart-sketches

# run this to generate a package.json file
npm init -y

# install API locally
npm install canvas-sketch --save

# install CLI locally as a devDependency
npm install canvas-sketch-cli --save-dev

Once you do that, you can run the following command from inside that project folder to force the local version, notice npx:

npx canvas-sketch src/sketch.js --new --open

[misreadings]

Thanks, @mattdesl! Worked like a charm.

hi @mattdesl !

I had problem with installing Canvas-sketches, I'm new to all these so i might need more details if possible. Thank you for your time! Appreciated! I tried to follow some instructions that you replied to other users, but it seems I got it all confused now.

I'm having the exact same problem... Have you found the way around it?
