issue in installing canvas-sketch

[Ayush0219]

canvas-sketch is not installing.it shows following error!:

C:\Users\Ayush>npm install canvas-sketch-cli -g
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: core-js@<3.23.3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Because of the V8 engine whims, feature detection in old core-js versions could cause a slowdown up to 100x even if nothing is polyfilled. Some versions have web compatibility issues. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.

Can you run canvas-sketch command after installation?

the logs you’ve pasted there are just warnings

[scream818]

running the commands is giving the following error right after installation:

I've got the same problem

[6abotage]

It's working with node 16, with >=18 it's not working

[Dellangelo-graphic]

Thank you so much! It finally works!!

[mattdesl]

I've just changed a feature that may help even when node version is >= 18. Unfortunately I don't have access to Windows right now.

Can you try updating the CLI?

If you are using it globally:

npm i canvas-sketch-cli@1.15.0 --global

mkdir test-sketch
cd test-sketch
canvas-sketch sketch.js --new

Or if you are using it with npx:

mkdir test-sketch
cd test-sketch
npx canvas-sketch-cli@1.15.0 sketch.js --new

Or if you are using it with locally installed devDependency:

mkdir test-sketch
cd test-sketch
npm init -y

npm install canvas-sketch-cli@1.15.0 --save-dev
npx canvas-sketch sketch.js --new
