Looks like the above issue is caused by canvas being pinned back in package-lock.json (and being unable to find 2.6.1 compatible with Node.js 18 it tries to build it and fails); if I do npm i canvas to pick up a new version of that package and its dependencies then I am then able to do an npm i and successfully install.

However... npm start then fails with Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported which looks like an issue with SSL versions on Node.js 18, and specifically in Webpack 4. You can work around this with export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider and then the execiser starts up fine. It's not a workaround I would want to document here, and I won't put in the install fix with the execution still broken.

What's really needed here is a bigger effort needed to get this library to Webpack 5 to get a properly working solution for Node.js 18+

To Solve this.. you have to install nvm (Node Version Manager)
and change your node version to v16.. then if you try npm install and npm start.. they will work..
