I installed cairo, and node-canvas. I tried everything, but still can't find module.

sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev
sudo npm install canvas
sudo npm install canvas -g

If I run require('canvas'), I get this error:

Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/canvas'

I use Ubuntu linux

Thanks in advance.

I just use "npm uninstall canvas" and then install using "npm i canvas"

Try this is if above option not works for you.
