Error on Install: node-gyp rebuild

[jhough10]

Getting an error when trying to install into a new project.

$ npm install --save-dev gulp-responsive

> sharp@0.11.3 install /PROJECT_PATH/node_modules/gulp-responsive/node_modules/sharp
> node-gyp rebuild

Package vips was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `vips.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Same problem io.js 1.6.4, npm 2.7.5 on Windows

Hi @jhough10 @rvboris please follow installation documentation of sharp library http://sharp.dimens.io/en/stable/install/

Notify me if it does not solve your problem.

@mahnunchik works like a champ now.

If using a Mac I ran the following command brew install homebrew/science/vips --with-webp --with-graphicsmagick and it resolved the issue with being able to install gulp-responsive.

@jhough10 great! :fireworks:
