Documentation proposal for installation error of frontend packages

[erkesado]

I got an error when installing the frontend packages with the npm install command.
The source of the error was the canvas package. Luckily this StackOverflow post saved my day. I had to download the compiling dependencies for the canvas package on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine.

Then I thought this error might happen whenever someone tried a fresh installation of the frontend packages. Has anyone encountered this error when installing the frontend packages before? How common does this error occur?

If this is a common error, we should document it and I'm ready to work on documenting it if it's worth doing so.

What is your experience?

The new main repository contains an updated build environment without canvas. Would you like to give it a test?

@fsbraun sure. How can I access the new main repository?

Simply clone it:

$ git clone git@github.com:django-cms/djangocms-admin-style.git
$ cd djangocms-admin-style
$ nvm install
$ nvm use
$ npm install
$ gulp bundle
$ gulp sass
