GIMG

A image placeholder service to provide images to templates, similar to Placeimg that is shutting down, placehold.it and other services.

Dependencies

GIMG is a Node.js app running on top of Hapi.js, using Graphics Magick to manipulate the images.

##Installing

Well, after cloning the repository, you should run npm install and you are ready to go, running node app.js or nodemon if you prefer.

###Graphics Magick installation

You have to install Graphics Magick on your computer so he can do his magic, not only the Node.js module.

Personally, for a Debian based distro, I've added a repository, running the following lines should be enough:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dhor/myway
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install graphicsmagick

But, for another distro or another OS you can access Graphics Magick official website to get install instructions.

That's it.
