I wanted to install the tiktok-scraper through node. For this I downgraded node from version 18 to 16, but the packages Installation still won't work.
I was getting the following error:
user@xxx ~ % npm i -g tiktok-scraper

I have tried all the possible solution tasks I found. Please, help me solve this bug. From npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org and other many other possibilities. This Laptop is new so there may are missing dependencies. I have tried to install them but got the same error with pkg canvas.
