Canvas fails to import after install

[sojs-coder]

Issue or Feature

Node canvas fails to run, none of the issues listed in the troubleshooting guide helped me at all.

A simple require statement throws the error.

Steps to Reproduce

var Canvas = require('canvas');

One line... that is all.

Installed with

npm i canvas

Did not build, everything seemed to install fine, no errors.

Here is what happens when I run the code....

Your Environment

• Version of node-canvas:
  

• Environment: node v20.11.1, Linux 22.04.1-Ubuntu x86_64 GNU/Linux, running in a REPL on repl.it

I had to install libuuid (System Dependencies > search for "util-linux" and install "[email protected]"), but then npm install canvas@next to install v3.0.0-rc2 worked on repl.it.

I'm trying to close out as many of the dozens of installation issues as possible. If the above doesn't work and I miss a ping here to reopen this issue, please don't hesitate to open a new one.
