Question

when i try to use const Canvas = require("canvacord") it gives this error
Error: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hint: hit control+c anytime to enter REPL.
is there a way to fix this?

Answer 1

Due to a lack of context and instructions I was unable to reproduce your issue. Although, assuming that you are using Repl.it, there is a comment about a similar issue available on Github:
If you are facing this error at replit
Follow this steps to fix it:
Click on three dots and then click on show hidden files
Go to file name 'replit.nix'
now under deps add: pkgs.libuuid
now after deps go to a fresh line (make sure there are no syntax conflicts), and paste this:
env = { LD_LIBRARY_PATH = pkgs.lib.makeLibraryPath [pkgs.libuuid]; };
Tada 🎉 your error is fixed, enjoy and thank me later :)
If this doesn't work, make sure you installed libuuid which is a dependency of node-canvas which itself is a dependency fo canvacord. Should be already installed on most Linux machines but maybe it's not... Run: apt-get install libuuid1
