Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

zhengyongxiong - can tell us in more detail!!

On server side it depends on libcairo2 library, see the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27705973/266561

You need to complete the node-canvas dependencies first then you will be able to install caman. I was able to successfully npm install caman through this approach.

• I met same problem and solved it by Installing node-gyp & Installing GTK 2
• you need this.node-canvas[wiki].
