Ensure you have convert, gs, and pdfinfo (part of poppler) commands.

Could you please list exact modules to install here?

@sonawanevip nope... I ended up using ghostscript directly as it does what I need.

Not sure if that might be relevant, but here is the article I ended up following that explains how to install ghostscript in node if you are using firebase:

I guess something similar needs to be done for all packages for this library to work - convert must be from ImageMagic package, gs is ghostscript and pdfinfo from poppler
