Cant build canvas on my Raspberry Pi

[TheSainEyereg]

Issue or Feature

• If this is an issue with installation, I have read the troubleshooting guide.

Some time ago, one of my two Raspberry Pi's had a corrupted SD card. After some time, I got a new card and restored the image copied from the dead card. I restored all the damaged packages and libraries and the system works as before, but now for some reason I can't build canvas. An error appears:

I tried reinstalling all the dependencies, but that didn't help. At the same time on the first Raspberry Pi the package build still works, maybe we do not know about all the dependencies?

Steps to Reproduce

npm i canvas

Your Environment

• Version of node-canvas (output of npm list canvas or yarn list canvas): [email protected]
• Environment (e.g. node 4.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.8): node 18.14.0 on Ubuntu Server 22.04 on Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB RAM)

It's failing because they removed some zipped files: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/releases/download/v2.11.0/canvas-v2.11.0-node-v108-linux-glibc-arm64.tar.gz

npm ERR! node-pre-gyp http GET https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/releases/download/v2.11.0/canvas-v2.11.0-node-v108-linux-glibc-arm64.tar.gz

If they won't bring it back or fix the link (because maybe there's new link to this zipped files?) it won't work

We've never had ARM prebuilds. See the troubleshooting guide for more info:

If you have an ARM CPU

Prebuilds aren't available for ARM. Please see the wiki for guides on building from source. See also node-gfx/node-canvas-prebuilt#69.
