I always end up using my old standby GraphicConverter (been using it since 1996...) for that kind of stuff since with imagemagick there always seems to be some kind of voodoo you have to invoke once you have a PNG alpha channel, images with EXIF rotation tags, PDF files, color profiles, etc.

i'm not sure this is true. erlang ranks lower than elixir, but erlang is a prereq for elixir

Personally, I opted to download it manually since I prefer it over curl for some things.

Or probably since the very first brew command on the homepage is `brew install wget`.

"Ah, wget. I guess I do need that."

That makes sense, so it's to generate thumbnails/resize uploads.

Could it be some node package that has a dependency on imagemagick?

What I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is so many people being aware of imagemagick and reading through it's documentation to learn how to use it.
