Hello, I followed the installation via Chocolatey, and after the installation of via chocolatay I rebooted then installed GTK 2 and put in C:\GTK, then when I run npm install canvas, I have this error, I have well node-gyp installed.

The Chocolatey installation:

PS: I also did the manual instation

My Environment

• NPM : 7.20.0
• Node : 16.13.1
• Windows : 10

The prebuilds failed to install because you're using 32-bit Node.js. Are you able to use 64-bit?

A user contributed the Chocolately instructions and, as noted in the wiki, others have reported that they have issues, see #843 in particular.

I'm using 64-bit, and follow the instructions on https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/wiki/Installation:-Windows and https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows still having the same result. Removing package lock and reinstall npm doesn't help either.

Is there no solution so far?

[zbjornson]

@forvy if you're trying to use Node.js v18, we don't have prebuilds working for that yet. If you open a new issue with the info in the template, I can help more there.

Closing this since it's old and no followup from original poster.

[paivaric]

Any news on how to install it into node 18?

[zbjornson]

@paivaric Node 18 prebuilds have been available for a while, it should just work. Please open an issue if you're running into problems.
