Unable to install canvas 1.6.0 in node 10.15.0

[Balasubramani]

I had tried to install audiogram in latest node 10.15.0 environment, Installation process stops while building canvas 1.6.0 module. Kindly fix audiogram to work in latest node js also.

in your package.json you have canvas to be installed on particualr commit like this "canvas": "git+https://github.com/chearon/node-canvas.git#12971f64a66b", remove #12971f64a66b and delete node_modules and run npm install it should work

Deleting the canvas version & rebuilding didn't help

Worked for me, thanks
