Yeoman gifsicle error (and others)

Question

I'm getting the following error while trying to do yo angular:

There are other error messages as well, during scaffolding.

I did:

npm install -g yo npm install -g generator-angular yo angular

I also tried doing npm install after it failed.

I also tried using yo webapp.

Here is the error:

Anyone has any ideas?

Answer 1

It maybe grunt-contrib-imagemin version ~0.8 has some errors.

Change your dependencies grunt-contrib-imageim to 0.7.1 in package.json

It will solve this problem

Answer 2

I have the same problem and I have resolve it with edit my package.json file. In the devDependencies, I have upgrade the version of jpegtran-bin 0.2.0 to 0.2.6. After that, I have launch npm install and now it's OK.

I hope that will help you to solve your problem.

Answer 3

If you get an error like "cannot find module 'imagemin-gifsicle'" then you might need to modify the dev dependencies of "grunt-contrib-imagemin" as "^0.7.1" in package.json. Then run "npm install".

This solved the error for me.
