Error in setting up the client side

[aysanaghazadeh]

To setup the client side I went through the readme file; however, I got this error:
Command: node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build on canvas failed.

I would appreciate it if you could help me with this issue.

It looks like this is related to node 18 support: Automattic/node-canvas#2025

You can switch between node versions with nvm (Node version manager): /~https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm. We use node 16 for our testing and development. If you switch to node 16 and the issue persists, please let us know
