I am having the same problem with node v11.15.0, I will try another version of node to see what happened.

Still doesnt work

node 12/Windows is not supported yet, see #1420. Hopefully node-gfx/node-canvas-prebuilt#80 will fix this very soon

I don't know why 11 wouldn't work, are you using 64 bit Windows?

[lolwhite23]

Yes, and I also tried Linux and I know it should work on linux, ive done it before

Nodejs 12 is still having installation problems. Any idea when node-gfx/node-canvas-prebuilt#80 will get merged?

I am also getting this problem with node v11.15.0 have to revert back to node v10.16.3

Prebuilds for canvas v2.5.0, v2.6.0 and v2.6.1 for Node.js v12 and v13 have been available for a bit now (thanks to @chearon). If anyone's still having problems, please open a new issue.
