do you have node version >= 18.15.0?

[Pascaltib]

Hi! I have node version 19.0.1.

I also tried using yarn with the same error. (In the end I got it working with docker but wanted to report the bug)

It looks like the issue is due to you MAC arch(ARM) This kind of issues is why I'm avoiding to upgrade my Intel MAC to M2

If you have an ARM CPU
Prebuilds aren't available for ARM. Please see the [wiki](https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/wiki#installation-guides) for guides on building from source. See also https://github.com/node-gfx/node-canvas-prebuilt/issues/69.

Got it thanks for investigating!

So does that mean you can't run this on a M2 Mac?

[riosje]

@rosh-eth it means this project has a dependency which is not built/compiled to run on ARM arch. It doesn't means is not capable to run. If you go to the node-canva github there are instructions to build the package on the desired ARCH.

I have similar warnings on PC, is there a solution for it ? No idea how to install successfully and run..

[SAIL-Fang]

I can't use npm install flowise too!

C:\Users\19700>node -v
v18.20.4

[Shariaty]

Unable to install flowise using npm. Tried yarn, increased yarn network timeout, switched the internet connection. No luck!

Node JS: v20.10.0 npm: 10.2.3 yarn: 1.22.22
