I'm able to install on maOS 14.4.1 with an Apple Silicon chipset:

brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg pixman python@3.12

rm -rf node_modules

npm install

If you don't have the brew command from homebrew: https://brew.sh

Using homebrew to install unpinned versions of dependencies to get a node package's build script to succeed doesn't feel right. This package should distribute a prebuilt binary for both Mac architectures, but GitHub charges money for Apple Silicon GitHub Actions runners (the free tier is Intel).

Edit: not a huge improvement, but here's a nix shell definition that can also build canvas:

# shell.nix
{ system ? builtins.currentSystem, pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { inherit system; } }:
  pkgs.mkShell {
    nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs.buildPackages; [ pkg-config cairo pango libpng libjpeg giflib librsvg pixman darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks.Foundation ];
}

Invoke using:

nix-shell shell.nix --argstr system aarch64-darwin
npm run install

I needed to run the command pip3 install setuptools after brew.
Everything is working fine after that

If folks come in here continuing to "same" this issue without providing indications of what exactly they ran (not just "I tried everything!") I don't think things are going to get very far. @InvisiBug your error message indicates that you don't have pkg-config in your PATH, so it doesn't look like you followed the installation instructions.
