v2.11.2/canvas-v2.11.2-node-v120-darwin-unknown-arm64.tar.gz was not found for my mac m1

Use M1 Mac and try installing library: chartjs-node-canvas.
It also depends on your library, which gives the following error:

node-pre-gyp WARN Hit error response status 404 Not Found on https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/releases/download/v2.11.2/canvas-v2.11.2-node-v120-darwin-unknown-arm64.tar.gz

That means build for canvas library for arm64 is missing.

I'm not associated with this project or https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/canvas but I found that https://www.npmjs.com/package/@napi-rs/canvas is a great replacement for node-canvas. @napi-rs/canvas supports Intel and Arm (M Chip) Macs with no system dependencies. It supports all the same features that I needed. It also supports webp which was a welcome bonus and is MIT license.

Instead of registerFont use GlobalFonts.registerFromPath; createCanvas and loadImage remain the same.

this issue is still valid

Maybe this and the following comment helps.

I shared the solution here #1511 (comment) for apple m1 chip

[mn4367]

Just for the record, I didn't install node-gyp nor did I export CXXFLAGS. Having installed Xcode, brew and the dependencies mentioned in the README should be sufficient for installing canvas on Node 20 (as I mentioned, installing on Node 21 didn't work).

Can you can confirm that your procedure works on Node 21?

[adeelibr]

I can confirm the solution worked for me on Node version 20

[mn4367]

So not on Node 21?
