@NICK42069 this looks similar to an issue with the needle dependency that was resolved in version 2.5.0 (#500). Recent versions of node-pre-gyp include this update, but canvas hasn't published a version that includes this yet.

Can you try either removing your package-lock.json file and reinstalling (node-pre-gyp uses a loose semver range for the needle dependency, but it might be pinned in your lockfile), or installing a version of needle >= 2.5.0 in your own project's dependencies to see if this fixes the issue?
