The following error message is quite minimalistic :P

In my case it was missing imagemagick:

brew install graphicsmagick imagemagick

A better error message would have helped to fix this though.

imagemagick is optional and we already have a check for it: https://github.com/sindresorhus/create-dmg/blob/4f80ea2d80b145d88b32597eaefdf7e8adb1085e/compose-icon.js#L38-L49

Can you replace https://github.com/sindresorhus/create-dmg/blob/4f80ea2d80b145d88b32597eaefdf7e8adb1085e/cli.js#L169 with throw error; and share the stack trace?
