Troubleshooting

• On windows machines the module sharp will potentially not compile properly and lead to an error. Make sure that you have a 64-bit machine and that your Node.js is also the 64-bit version. If it still doesn't work, check the Sharp documentation.
• Ìf the asset upload fails for some reason check the console. Maybe brew install exiftool wasn't run. You might need to install the proper exiftool version for your machine. Check the exiftool website.
