I'm a beginner programmer, and I'm making a discord bot using node and discord.js. I need a library named canvas, but it doesn't install!
I programmed and tested this app on my windows pc, then sent it over to my raspberry server. It didn't work, so I tried deleting and installing the library again, but when installing, it gives this error:
(I'm trying to install it with this command: npm install canvas)

First Try installing the binaries for canvas mentioned in https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev librsvg2-dev
Then install canvas:
npm install canvas
