"Can't open output file for writing" error on Homebrew and Macports #231

Open jgrande35 opened 7 years ago

jgrande35 commented 7 years ago

This is some frustrating bullshit. I'm a photographer, not a programmer. I've tried Homebrew and MacPorts on my mac and keep getting "Can't open output file for writing."Can someone please offer advice. Thanks.

Try ImageOptim: https://imageoptim.com/mac

it has Guetzli as an option, and you just need to tick a checkbox in prefs.

I tried Imageoptim, and it's not good at all. I just want to get my Guetzli working. Can someone tell a non-programmer how to fix the "Can't open output file for writing" errors I keep getting?
