I installed imagemagick as stated in README in section "Common problems" on macOS 11.5.2 (20G95) and run badge. Unfortunately I got the following error message:

So after searching old issues I found that GraphicsMagick can be used as an alternative. So I installed GraphicsMagick using the following command:

$ sudo port install GraphicsMagick 

The next time I ran badge, it was able to run it without error messages. On recommendation in stdout output I installed librsvg via the following command:

$ sudo port install librsvg

Unfortunately it came to the same error message as above.

It would be good to mention in README or in stdout that GraphicsMagick or another graphics library can be used as an alternative.

The optional dependency on librsvg is frustrating. I found out that ffmpeg also uses this library. Every time I want to build a new app version, I have to deactivate this library using sudo port deactivate librsvg. Is it possible to add an option if one really wants to use librsvg library?

You can opt out using svg and use imagemagick instead with pngs No other alternative sorry
