Error building VegaLite

I am trying to use Agents.jl package. However, while trying to add the package, I get the following error

I tried adding VegaLite, building packages, updating them. But, none of them seem to fix the problem.

On what platform are you trying this? We’ve seen this kind of error in docker containers before.

As a temporary workaround, you can pkg> dev VegaLite, and then run npm install --scripts-prepend-node-path=true --production --no-package-lock --no-optional in the folder ~/.julia/dev/VegaLite/deps. You’ll need to install npm manually for that to work.

We are finally very close to fix these problems once and for all. Cairo.jl and Rsvg.jl are now ported to the new BinaryProvider.jl framework, and I believe that this problem will be solved once I port VegaLite.jl back to using Cairo.jl/Rsvg.jl.

I have now updated it with the entire output.

I am using Julia on Google Colab. I tried develop VegaLite, and I get the following error

Yes, you’ll get that error when you do the dev, but just ignore that and then run the command I suggested on the command line (if that works), and it should work, in theory :slight_smile:
