install response status 404 Not Found

I am using pdfjs-dist v4.8.69 which lists canvas as an optional dependency. However, when I am trying to run npm install, the process fails:

npm error node-pre-gyp WARN Pre-built binaries not installable for canvas@2.11.2 and node@20.18.1 (node-v115 ABI, unknown) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

npm error node-pre-gyp WARN Hit error response status 404 Not Found on https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/releases/download/v2.11.2/canvas-v2.11.2-node-v115-darwin-unknown-arm64.tar.gz

Seeing the same on our end (404) for this URL:
https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/releases/download/v2.11.2/canvas-v2.11.2-node-v131-darwin-unknown-arm64.tar.gz

Also saw some relevant discussions in #2430 and #2448 (comment)

Try overriding canvas version in package.json to force use of 3.0.0:

"overrides": {
  "canvas": "3.0.0"
}

Hi! I was having the same issue and I went to the readme, where I found the exact line of commands I needed based on my OS (in my case, it was Fedora and I had tried installing the MacOS ones). I really recommend giving it a read:

Overriding did not work, FYI.
