NodeJS BMP to Vector EPS (for Mac OSX)
-

Problem

I needed to turn a variety of different composer images into vector graphics. The images needed to be of any shape and style and ultimately I would need to manipulate them through Adobe Illustrator.

Solution

Use Mac OSX homebrew to install potrace and convert a BMP image into EPS format.

Steps

Step 1: Install Homebrew on Mac OSX

  ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Step 2: Doublecheck brew

  brew doctor
  brew update

Step 4: Use brew command to install potrace

  brew install potrace

Step 5: Install NodeJS

Step 6: Install node packages

  sudo npm install

Step 6: Run Node app

  node app.js
