Installation Error

[ezzygemini]

I've tried installing the package in my local OSX system and it fails when installing sharp. Would you guys know a fix for this?

Admin-iMac:myrepo adminuser$ npm install image-resizer --save

I've had some issues with the current version of sharp that is being depended on. This is possibly related to #85.

What I've been doing while that gets fixed/released is using npm-shrinkwrap to override the reference to 0.12.0 and it has made the overall experience of installing it much better. I would try that and see if it helps you. I haven't had any issues with using the newer version yet.

Wow, impressive response time. I wasn't expecting a response for a few days. Thanks, I'll check it out.

@ernestopye Hey sorry I've never used npm shrinkwrap before, how exactly do I do this instead of npm install -g image-resizer? Do I instead pull this source, and run npm shrinkwrap ?

@vprasanth Try our fork: npm install -g tripviss/image-resizer

We've updated to sharp v0.16 which comes with prebuilt libvips
