Gyp installation error: No package 'cairo' found

[hced]

Just curious if this affects anything down the line? Or if you can safely disregard this gyp error when installing metalsmith-stylus? I also posted a workaround that worked out for me in my second comment.

~/Dev/myProject
❯ npm install --save metalsmith-stylus

> [email protected] install /Users/H/Dropbox/Dev/myProject/node_modules/metalsmith-stylus/node_modules/canvas
> node-gyp rebuild

Package cairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

FYI, I fixed this by installing cairo and pixman and then re-ran npm install --save metalsmith-stylus.

I posted a gist if anyone's interested. Or if you're lazy, you may just run this command and follow instructions:
