Solved: #1580 (comment)

Hit error Remote end closed socket abruptly.

Can you try again once or twice please? I hit this a few times last night. It seems like GitHub release assets might be having some service issues.

Still

[Robin-Sch]

I deleted manually the c:\libjpeg-turbo-gcc folder, which causes this. Maybe this is the problem?

[zbjornson]

See also #1573 - this is an upstream issue with Node.js/needle (tomas/needle#312)

Renamed the issue for better visibility to other users.

[lhcdims]

same problem, any work around? thanks

[zbjornson]

@lhcdims check out #1573 for a work around (install request)

[lhcdims]

@zbjornson thanks, I got it, and I write it down here for others that may have the same problem:

1. install 'n', which is a node version manager:
   sudo npm install n -g

2. use 'n' to install and use node version 12.13.1:
   n 12.13.1

3. Go to your node.js project directory, and use node version 12.13.1 to install canvas:
   npm i canvas --save

Hi!, I faced the same issue in Ubuntu 20.04 with latest Node.
When change the node version to 12.13.1 works fine.
How can we use this library with the latest node version to take adventages of new fixes and improvements?

Thanks!

@zbjornson Your workaround worked for me. I used nvm instead of n, and that did the trick as well.

[Robin-Sch]

Indead #1580 (comment) worked.

[neumartin]

@RobinSchapendonk why you close this issue?, can I use node 12.16.3 with this library?
Thanks!

[Dusty211]

@neumartin To answer your second question: As long as you switch to Node 12.13.1 before you run 'npm install canvas', you can switch back to 12.16.3 afterwards. It's not ideal, but seems to work OK for now. Not sure why the closed it. Obviously this is a temporary workaround and not a fix. I have to use a 12.16.3 environment, so this is my best option.
