I am able to install node-canvas, if I also include node lts:

"dependencies": { "canvas": "^2.10.1", "node": "lts" }

We don't currently provide prebuilds for Node.js 18, see #2025 for status.

When it's falling back to building, the error tells you what's wrong:

pkg-config: command not found gyp: Call to 'pkg-config pixman-1 --libs' returned exit status 127 while in binding.gyp.

You need to follow the instructions here to install pkg-config and the required libraries:
