pngquant-bin install error

[babeuloula]

Hello,

Describe the bug When I try to install with npm install I have an error and libpng-dev is installed :

> pngquant-bin@4.0.0 postinstall /home/ubuntu/ProtonMail/WebClient/node_modules/imagemin-pngquant/node_modules/pngquant-bin
> node lib/install.js

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. iOS] Ubuntu

Can you tell me why I can't install the webclient ?

Thanks

:wave: Which version of node/npm do you have ? I had the same issue with docker, fixed it with this lib https://github.com/imagemin/mozjpeg-bin/issues/18#issuecomment-273973388 Maybe there is a better patch but didn't try to find a better fix yet.

This is node 8.11.3

And I just need to download the deb file and install it ?

[dhoko]

Yup, it should be enough. (It is for my container)

[babeuloula]

Indeed, it's works very fine with this deb file : http://ppa.launchpad.net/hiberis/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.27-1ubuntu1%7Eppa1_amd64.deb

Thanks you
