It's not installing

[samtax01]

It won't install on node v18.16.0. I haven't tested on any other version yet, though.

Here is the log

Hi, @samtax01
Please try to fix your local enviroment to support install the Canvas library first

[raghav-coding]

@ushelp it seems like it is happening on Mac M1 Machines that have ARM chips. Seems to be working on Intel.

[gjbundy]

I was able to fix the dependency issue. Run this before you try and install:
brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg

That will allow you to install the package correctly.
