If you get an error running npm install referring to node-pre-gyp, this is caused by an attempt to compile the canvas dependency. See Compiling instructions in the README. For example on MacOS you need to install dependencies: brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg pixman.
Currently this repo will not build (npm run build) on Node v18, recommended version is v16. See https://stackoverflow.com/q/69692842/1375972
