Note: pdfjs@3.0.279 has issues installing on Mac M1 (fix included)

Just adding this as a FYI.

pdfjs@3.0.279 adds canvas as a dependency (though it looks like it might be made optional in the next release). Canvas doesn't have a native M1 prebuilt binary and so yarn install might break looking for it and trying to built it from source. You can fix it by installing the canvas dependencies manually, read this thread.

For me I was able to fix it by:
brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg
This is a lot of dependencies.. I believe only pkg-config cairo pango are required but I just installed them all.
brew cleanup
brew doctor
rm -r node_modules/
yarn install

Thank you @lucasgadams, it's works with pkg-config,cairo and pango packages.

Thanks a lot. I updated the installation guide based on your fix.
