Glitch Help

When i try to require canvas this is the error i get. I have tried npm rebuild and uninstalling/reinstalling it. Anybody know a fix?

module.js:653

return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));

             ^

Error: The module ‘/app/node_modules/canvas/build/Release/canvas.node’

was compiled against a different Node.js version using

NODE_MODULE_VERSION 48. This version of Node.js requires

NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. Please try re-compiling or re-installing

the module (for instance, using npm rebuild or npm install).

Are you able to use a different version of Node? This project has canvas working ok for example: https://glitch.com/edit/#!/node-canvas-clock. If not, let us know your project name and we’ll take a look.

I need to use node 8+. https://aclipse.glitch.me it’s a discord.js bot

You should be able to run it using

nvm use 8.4.0

And then npm rebuild && install

I also have a discord bot which uses canvas perfectly fine. :+1:
