3 years ago Having the same problem 😕
From release page it seems that binaries for node-v88 are present for both mac and windows but not for linux. If you have root access on your Linux instance, you can install required build tools so node-gyp will be able to build node-canvas from source
I don't know if this repo is still maintained considering low activty though 😕

node--version reports 15.8.0 I am trying to install on AWS Linux 2. I run, npm install --save canvas but I encounter errors. Is there a previous version of node that is better or alternative approach?
