node-pre-gyp ERR! install response status 404 Not Found on https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/releases/download/v2.8.0/canvas-v2.8.0-node-v72-linux-musl-arm64.tar.gz

Hi, I'm attempting to run an app with canvas in AWS CodeBuild.

buildspec.yml:

version: 0.2
env:
shell: /bin/sh
phases:

install:
runtime-versions:
nodejs: 12
python: 3.x
python: 2.x

pre_build:
commands:
- echo Installing source NPM dependencies...
- npm install
- npm install -g [email protected]

build:
commands:
- docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build -d

post_build:
commands:
- echo Build completed on date

artifacts:
files:
- '**/*'

The relevant line in package.json:

"canvas": "^2.8.0"

The error I'm getting in CodeBuild log:

[email protected] install /app/node_modules/canvas

The npm page says that 2.8.0 is the latest version, but it cannot find it.

thanks

Please see #1511:

Installation fails with a 404 in the log

If you're on Alpine Linux or another distro using musl-libc

The log may look like

node-pre-gyp WARN Tried to download(404): https://github.com/node-gfx/node-canvas-prebuilt/releases/download/v2.6.0/canvas-v2.6.0-node-v64-linux-musl-x64.tar.gz

Prebuilds are only available for glibc, not musl-libc. See node-gfx/node-canvas-prebuilt#77, which includes information on building from source.
