The app runs great on my machine, but when I try to render out a seed I get this error:

$ node print 681969
module.js:440
    throw err;
    ^

Can you try: npm i canvas --save

If the install fails you will have to read the instructions in the node-canvas repo.

Thanks @mattdesl! It looks like something is messed up with node-gyp rebuild. I'll look into it.

@todrobbins Hey, I got the same error as you did. I updated my Node.js to the latest version, reinstalled the node modules, but I still get the error. Did you ever get it to work?
