node-gyp error when running npm install

I'm new to node and a bit out of my depth here. Experiencing this error on both Mac OS X and Centos 6. Happens in all the npm install xxx commands I've tried. Any suggestions on how to get around this error much appreciated.

Similar to npm install gives node-gyp error but I do not have spaces in my username which is what solved his issue.

npm install canvas

> node-gyp rebuild

Package cairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

This is a known canvas issue, probably caused by missing native libs.
Try this see if it helps:

sudo npm uninstall -g node-gyp
sudo npm install -g node-gyp
brew install pkg-config cairo libpng jpeg giflib
npm i canvas

I've same error the reason was that I don't have clang compiler installed. My solution to this was to install build-essential package

sudo apt-get install build-essential

I'm using Ubuntu 20.1 release
